My PG DS10 is seriously lacking in executive functioning skills. So. Very. Lacking. How do you tell inattentive ADHD apart from just executive functioning problems / disorder? Does it look the same in PG kids? What is normal for PG kids?
What role do overexcitabilities play here? My son is extremely sensitive, extremely emotionally dysregulated, and extremely intense. I've always chalked it up to OEs, but I also often see it attributed to ADHD. My oldest is HG and is super sensitive and intense, but not like this.
I've also read that kids with ADHD have impaired working memory. My son's percentile in working memory is 50%, which normally would be considered average...but when the rest of his subtests are in the high 90's does that make it "impaired"? (I do observe that he can't handle me giving more than one or two verbal instructions at a time.)
I'm just really lost in all of this...any advice is appreciated!
