About the Event
Many autistic adults know what they want to accomplish. They understand why a task matters and may have a clear plan. Yet the task doesn’t start—or quickly derails—leaving frustration and the question: Why is this so hard when I know what to do?
Executive function skills are the behind-the-scenes systems that help turn ideas into action, including planning, getting started, staying focused, managing time, and completing tasks. When these systems are strained, everyday demands can feel overwhelming.
This one-hour webinar bridges the gap between knowing and doing, offering practical, evidence-based strategies to improve task initiation, time awareness, and follow-through.
