Intelligence is independent from executive capabilities though. Plenty of dumb neurotypicals, plenty of really smart people with ADHD. A ton of intelligence is useless if you have executive difficulties because you will never apply said intelligence into something beneficial for yourself. Intelligence is also multidimensional and a spectrum. I've met a lot of really stupid people with doctor titles and highly technical work roles. You can be a genius in area A while also being an absolute moron in area B. That's just normal life.
