ADHD Executive Functioning Meltdowns: What the Research Really Says Mar 10, 2025

If task-switching under stress wrecks your day, you’re not alone. Researchers have spent 20+ years studying executive functioning in ADHD, and honestly? Their findings are a bit of a mess.

In this episode, we break down a new critical review of the research (and trust me, the we have some thoughts). We’re talking hot executive functioning, emotional overload, and why decision-making goes out the window under stress.

What you’ll learn:

Why your brain freezes in high-pressure situations (and what science says you can do about it)
The real reason ADHD professionals struggle with task transitions and emotional reactivity
What this research tells us about why we cry over emails (yes, really)
Practical, science-backed tools to reset your brain after an emotional overload

There’s a reason ADHD professionals burn out faster—and it has everything to do with how we process stress. Let’s break it down.

In this episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we sit down with Tevis Houston, the mind behind Friends Everywhere, a studio that partners with major brands like Levi's and Vans. We dive into the impact of late diagnosis, the power of ADHD strengths in the creative industry, and the importance of building supportive communities.

The Tip: Tevis mentions her ability to "pivot quickly" is a benefit in her creative work.
The Action: Over this next month, embrace multitasking in ways that fuel you—like decorating while listening to festive music or brainstorming gift ideas while cooking.

2. Prioritize Breaks to Rest and Reset

The Tip: Tevis shared how taking breaks is her way to “reset.”
The Action: Schedule short breaks throughout the day during the holiday rush. Use them to step outside, do a quick breathing exercise, or enjoy a cup of tea.

How do emotional regulation – and dysregulation – relate to ADHD? This week, we look at several studies about ADHD, executive function, and emotional dysregulation. Is emotional dysregulation tied to executive function? How do early childhood influences affect emotional dysregulation? And how does sleep – or the lack of it – affect emotional regulation and executive function? We'll discuss each study in depth and share our own experiences.

Research Recap: ADHD Combined Diagnosis and Brain Imaging May 22, 2023

Join Skye and Sarah for an in-depth chat about two papers in what might be called the opposite ends of the academic spectrum. In the first part, we will chat through an interesting (and perhaps controversial) paper looking at how an ADHD diagnosis can change over the year. Then we dive into one of our favourite topic, neuroscience, and chat through what it means to be able to see changes in brain structures in people with ADHD as well as your own brain imaging experience.

Research Recap: Perfectionism and Executive Functioning with ADHD May 15, 2023

Welcome to our first research recap! Join us for our honest assessment and wide-ranging discussion of the latest in ADHD research. In this episode, we discuss how University students with ADHD can hold themselves to a relatively low standard of achievement despite being highly self-critical of their own performance. We examine whether a short intervention targeting executive dysfunction can improve workplace performance and satisfaction. And we look at the effectiveness of self-guided online modules for ADHD.
