Understanding Executive Functions
Executive functions in autism include initiation of actions, self-monitoring, and cognitive flexibility. Initiation of actions is the ability to motivate oneself to begin tasks, even if they seem boring or challenging. Self-monitoring involves being aware of one's actions and making adjustments, especially crucial in social communication. Cognitive flexibility allows individuals to think about different problem-solving strategies, adapt to new situations, and consider multiple perspectives on a situation, highlighting autistics' unique ability to see more than one side of an issue.
