Working memory deficits

Good afternoon Dr. Huberman! LOVE your podcast more than I can express!! I am deeply curious about many things, but will focus my question in one general area—working memory. Specifically, the role working memory plays in being able hold in mind what you have read, then to organize, synthesize and articulate the parts of the whole when communicating in writing. Additionally, how ADHD and possibly disorders of written expression may inhibit this process. I have a bright kid who has tested extremely high in the visual-spatial domain (99th percentile) but is having an extremely difficult time in his English courses. Our school system is excellent, but continues to fall short in knowing how to support him in a way that works for him. Anecdotally, I had similar issues writing papers in college and grad school.
