In addition, plenty of other disorders show worse executive function than ADHD:

If executive dysfunction is your primary issue, that is not indicative of ADHD. ADHD is driven by reward processing dysfunction and slower information processing:

Note that both poorer information processing and reward processing dysfunction can produce poorer performance on executive function tasks, too.
