    Except that “forgetting things” is the most salient symptom of ADHD, while “being an asshole” is nowhere near the autism spectrum.

      Right? “Forgetting things” is one thing…but whenever I have a home project I spend more time looking for my hammer multiple times than I do actually working. As an example.

        I have 5 hammers, 2 identical drills, and 4 box cutters because of this.

        I have some 20 pair of scissors for the same reason.

        I don’t even want to know how many screwdrivers I’ll find when I pack my shit to move.

        Object permanence is a big problem. A big expensive problem. I can set something down right in front of myself and lose it basically immediately.
