Does Executive Dysfunction mean things like being unable to properly pay attention to someone talking(IRL, of course) and lack of detail?

That sounds more like inattentiveness (also a symptom of ADHD). Might be related but I think of executive dysfunction more in terms of like, not being able to get shit done. Commonly online you'll see people talk of ADHD paralysis.

Some very VERY broad behaviors that could indicate ADD-

*Chronic lateness, especially to things they enjoy (movies/games with friends etc)
*Procrastination across multiple domains of life (so not just putting off school work but also laundry, sending a birthday card/text, cooking, etc)
*Preferring to attend to multiple tasks at once like composing three different emails
*Recognizing that something isn't a priority afterwards but feeling it was "the only thing their mind could focus on" in the moment..
*Requiring a lot of rest after completing an uninteresting task before starting another uninteresting task (applies to everyone to some extent of course)
