Why you gotta come at me like this? What did I do to you?

Isn't this more like ADHD thing?

Between 50% and 70% of autistic people also have an attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis

So, at least 1 out of 2. That's a lot!

AuDHD ftw

Or equally frustrating, my partner put it somewhere safe and swears that they've never even seen or heard of said item in their whole entire life.

Drives me crazy

My life hack: when I'm holding a thing, I think "If I was looking for this, where would I look first?" and I put it there. Works pretty well, I've found stuff like the phone sim opening push-pin things etc. with it.

There needs to a a:

To Wife: 'Where did you move it to?'
Me: Finds it where I last put it

I feel it needs a smaller "maybe I never owned it? Maybe it never existed?"

Make a list on your phone.

"Christmas lights - in hallway closet, top shelf, left side"

"Phone screen protector removal tool - junk drawer in kitchen"

Etc.

how are you going to use that list if you keep misplacing your phone?

i struggle with this so much that my partner says i’m the epitome of “out of sight, out of mind” if something isn’t within my visible range i literally forget it exists 😔
