"He sat down on the floor, and reached for his socks. He intended to put them on, but could not. An invisible force blocked the commands his mind sent to his body." -> Is this a good way to describe executive dysfunction? (I suffer from it myself, but have trouble putting it into words.) Do you have tips on portraying it in a way neurotypical readers would understand, too?
I think it works! I don’t often suffer from it myself, but generally I would recommend using metaphors and to personify the dysfunction the way you feel. Neurotypical people don’t often understand how someone can simply just up and do something, but luckily, figurative language helps! Keeping the dysfunction described as an entity separate from the individual is likely the best way to go.
