Executive function challenges + homework demand = stand-off. Teen wants to pass, isn't lazy, literally cannot initiate and complete the work. Teachers see refusal.

Neurodivergent struggle looks like defiance to people who don't understand.

How do you help your teen with homework when executive function is the barrier? What actually works?

It only takes one adult at school seeing the real kid to change the whole year. Keep looking for that person.
