ADHD Emotional Regulation, Executive Function and Neurodiversity Accessibility
Emotional dysregulation is a common but often overlooked aspect of attention‑deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Strategies such as mindfulness meditation, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and regular physical activity are recommended to help individuals recognise triggers, respond thoughtfully and maintain greater emotional balance; physical exercise releases dopamine, serotonin and endorphins that support mood regulation.
ADHD is increasingly viewed as involving deficits in executive functioning. Experts describe executive functions as the brain’s internal secretary that manages, organizes and distributes information, with core components including working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibition control.
Neurodiversity, encompassing ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other cognitive differences, is reshaping inclusive digital design. Designing for neurodivergent users can drive innovation and improve digital experiences for everyone, while addressing common barriers such as lack of research and the need to balance universal and personalised design approaches.
