All else being equal, if you “wanted” to do something but then didn’t do it, it means you didn’t actually want to do it. Maybe you thought you should, you recognised the value etc. But that is very different to actually wanting something. You have no problem doing what you want.

Why should tacking on "All else being equal" make this an okay thing to say? Folks with executive dysfunction are already beating themselves up and calling themselves lazy. This mindset that neurotypical folks have, that anything you really want to do should be easy, -hurts-.

Hey love. How do you feel about this initial statement. Do you see that you are always doing what you want and if you really wanted to do something else you would do what’s needed to make it happen? It was a game changer for me when I realized it to be true for myself.

Would you ever tell someone confined to a wheelchair that there's no excuse not to walk every day? That they're clearly only confined to a wheelchair because they want to be? No? Then don't say ^that^ to folks with executive dysfunction.

Yes. Some people are “confined” to wheelchairs while some use a wheelchair as a tool and a friend. Those who are “confined” are doing a mental act to themselves, and they don’t have to be. Maybe there is a way out. What tools have you built to help with your executive dys?
