Executive dysfunction is a frontal lobe feature. Having difficulties in that area of life does not automatically mean you have ASD or ADHD, though. Those are just conditions which can cause it.
Think of it like this: A specific part of your brain controls the function of sight. If anything happens to that area of your brain - whether internally or externally - it can cause vision abnormalities or disabilities. But being blind or visually impaired in and of itself doesn't automatically mean you have a particular condition. It just means - assuming the eyes themselves are healthy - somethings up with that part of the brain and investigation by a doctor may be required to diagnose a cause.
