The Temple of Doom Boxes

This episode addresses the viral post we shared about Doom Boxes. It explores executive dysfunction, neurodiversity and co-existing conditions. During the podcast, I state that executive dysfunction can be ‘caused’ by autism, adhd etc… I couldn’t neatly edit this part out, so I wanted to clarify that what I meant was, executive dysfunction can be experienced by people with adhd, autism, ptsd, and other conditions. It is not exclusive to ADHD. Regarding cause, online sources such as additudemag.com do express that it can be the result of heredity, such as ADHD, but they can also result from damage to the prefrontal cortex, in vitro exposure to substance use, trauma or severe neglect. With this in mind, it might not be far-fetched to suggest that other conditions such as autism, and the way the brain is wired, is responsible for executive function issues, but I worded this very badly in the podcast. I have my own processing issues, and sadly this was one of those times. We hope you enjoy the podcast, and relate to the content.
