Side note: executive functioning is greatly impaired by stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, depression, etc. Those are very common in autistic people (due to lack of support and an unfriendly environment, not because of autism itself), making the symptoms much worse. Being unable to perform the basic planning & tasks causes even more stress & anxiety. It's a vicious cycle. There's still a huge blind spot in the way we approach autism, where we try to address the symptoms without having a critical look at the person's environment.
(I'm autistic myself; and with proper support and environment I have very little executive functioning problems. Without them, I struggle with the most basic planning & tasks.)
