ABSTRACT
One of the frustrating things about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and executive dysfunction/motivational deficits is that they interfere with your ability to handle problems and make decisions as they arise in daily life. Problem solving and decision making reflect “tests” of the executive functions insofar as you must sort through various and sundry possible scenarios and options and use a host of coping skills to deal with real-world situations. The outcomes of decision making and problem solving can range from deciding what entrée to order at a restaurant to handling legal problems, choosing a job, or managing sensitive personal issues that may have long-term effects on your life.
