      No, give it to me, I’ll put it somewhere safe. You’ll never see it again, but it’ll be safe.

      Just like the screws I need to reassemble my weed whacker.

        When disassembling something, always tape the loose screws onto it using marking tape or transparent packing tape (whichever doesn’t break the item’s surface.)

        This way I never misplaced screws.

      It took me like 25 years to learn to not set shit on top of a ladder. If I carried something up a ladder with me, it comes down with me. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve thought “I’ll totally remember this hammer up here (this time)” only to climb down, immediately try to move the ladder, and get clobbered in the face by the falling hammer that I forgot about the second it left my field of vision.

      If it’s not within my field of view, it might as well no longer exist. Especially if I need that item.

    There’s already one comorbidity mentioned here, depression, but obviously there’s room for more like autism. If I had the skills I might’ve made a “slaps roof on car” meme version here, so you’ll just have to use your imagination. (Tough sell for someone with aphantasia).

    Trouble recalling commonly used words is a big one for me. Also I use other words as placeholder who are adjacent in my head, like dishwasher and washing machine. Followed by frustration that people don’t have the same association and immediately understand what I mean

      “Thingy,” “that thing,” “thingamabob,” and “whatchacallit” are all valid ways that myself, my friends, and my family refer to items. Sometimes there’s an adjective or relative descriptor used to clarify, like “that spiky thing,” or “the blue thingy next to the TV.”

      Do you also sometimes go through the alphabet when trying to find a word? Usually if I can figure out what sound/letter starts the word I’m looking for, I can find the rest of it.

        I don’t define myself as ADHD but I’ve been doing that for years. It doesn’t always work but I it primes by brain to be aware of all the letters. Good for wordle, trivia, etc.

    The inability to focus mixed with the forgetfulness is my Achilles heel.

    Like, I’ll put the butter in the microwave for TEN SECONDS to softe it, then forget I’ve done so until it beeps and now my butter is a puddle. Ten fucking seconds.

      Yes, that’s how syndromes work. Having one or two of these things is expected. Having half of them isn’t.

        To further this point, having half of these things can also be a thing for non adhd people… But, like most neurological diversities, it’s how often they occur and how much they impact your life that makes the difference.

        Everyone forgets their wallet/keys/phone/glasses from time to time… When you forget multiple times a week forever? It’s different

      if you don’t relate with most of the memes in this community then you might not have ADHD

      Rooted in trauma… I feel we are heavily influenced by our environment and when our environment becomes toxic, we become toxic. As much as we try to maintain our own individuality, the world around us becomes a weight. I feel the era we live in is a world of mass surveillance and the loss of autonomy. I think that the rising developments of big tech and its influence on our lives mixed with the ever-increasing school shootings should tell us that our children are a perfect indicator that our society is becoming ever increasingly more antisocial. It’s a slow global fascist coup Increasing exponentially… who are now hammering the last nail in the neoliberal coffin as the Western world prepares for global techno fascism. They’ve done studies on these mass shooters and some of them have not had any prior mental health issues documented. Also, the people around them, some didn’t suspect a thing. Basically what I’m saying is psychologists are saying that they don’t have mental health issues. And I question if all these mental health tags are just handicaps to survive the techno-capitalist-fascist world that’s ahead of us. I also believe two things can be right at the same time. That is all.
