The Mini Executive Edge

Homeschooling neurodivergent kids means rethinking executive functioning altogether. Executive functioning isn’t just a theory or a set of predefined strategies; it’s something we have to live, adapt, and make our own. Autism thrives on routine, ADHD needs flexibility, and both come with deep emotions, big ideas, hyperfocus, and unexpected detours. I’m exploring how to build time awareness, task management, independence, and emotional regulation in ways that truly work for my kids and me—not just in theory but in real life. Some days we find a rhythm. Other days we start fresh. If you’re in the thick of this too, dealing with focus struggles, energy crashes, bursts of hyperfocus, and all the unexpected detours, walk this path with me.

“I was actually searching about ADHD in adults when I came across Learning with Busy Brains. At first, I didn’t realize it was a homeschooling site, but as I read more, I found that the way the mom shares her journey and how she uses the same strategies with her kids to learn also helped me think about my own learning. It’s not all neatly packaged advice, just real experiences and some practical ideas that actually seem doable.”
