Eli5 What is executive disfunction?

I think [this](https://musingsofanaspie.com/executive-function-series/) is an amazing explanation
It mostly defines what executive functioning is – executive *dys*function are deficits in executive functioning. Some people with EF deficits have problems in all areas, many just with some.
In short, executive functioning describes the cognitive processes that help you organize and control your own thoughts and actions. I’ve seen it described as the “control center” of the brain. While that is wrong (it’s not one place, or even one thing, but an umbrella term for multiple things your brain can do) I still think it’s a helpful description to give you a general idea
