i’ve never been diagnosed but ik i’m not like neurotypical people. plus my mom and one of my brothers have it. but i feel like it messes up my memory. i don’t mean to forget things bc it makes people think i don’t listen to them. i do listen but i also have 10,000 things in my head as well. i honestly feel like i mask a lot as well, bc i can only truly be myself when im alone. this isn’t all though

I can understand what you're saying. It's like you jump too quickly into the next train of thought and when you try to go back to something important it's just blank.

I hear you. Something I do to help me remember is write things down because I know I'll forget otherwise.

@GentleFish how do you remember to write things down? Especially during important conversations?
