    When people use the common definition of executive disfunction they are euphemism treadmilling laziness.

    I was unaware of anyone outside of ASD/ADHD communities regularly using the term.

      The OP used executive disfunction as synonymous with lazy. The term executive disfunction has been used in mainstream media for years.

        can be broken into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won’t be successful or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps

        doesn’t sound like laziness to me
