#ObjectPermanence
Did you forget to draw the bot?
#ObjectPermanence
I am well into my fifth decade of time on this rock, and I still play peekaboo with my peers.
I'm proud of myself. Due to an almost non-existent sense of #ObjectPermanence, I rarely buy fresh fruit or veg anymore because I will usually forget about its existence until it is into its 2nd or 3rd cycle of microscopic civilisation development.
But this week I managed to buy a bag of cherries AND remember they were in the fridge for three consecutive days, meaning I ate every single delicious one! 🙂

Question for people with #adhd that also live with others with the condition.
Clutter, particularly related to object permanence, can be a problem for us. If you struggle with clutter yourself and you live with someone that also struggles, are you both blind to only your clutter or both persons clutter?
I know that people don’t owe me anything but sometimes I wonder if people use their neurodiversity as an excuse for just being rude. And I say this as someone who is ND myself and has a family full of ND people.
And I know that part of this is my social anxiety coming into play because maybe they saw my message, were going to respond but got distracted, and the lack of object permanence took over. Maybe they haven’t been ignoring me for over a year.
But that anxiety gets ramped up every time I see them post about the subject I messaged them about to the point where I’ve had to mute them.
My anxiety won’t let me not respond to someone I know, even if I haven’t spoken to them in years, even if it’s “hey, saw your message, if you don’t hear back from me in the next week, reach out again” because might forget. I sometimes forget to eat.
Anyway, happy Friday!

Defrosting your freezer is an easy low-effort task until you spend couple of hours working, forget you're defrosting, and walk into the kitchen to see the freezer door open.
If we could bottle that panic we could do away with energy drinks.
This gets me in trouble too, because of ADHD if I don’t see people (on line or irl) I forget you exist. I also have face blindness (have failed to recognise my kids at some point 😂) We need to keep things where we can see them, or we will forget. It doesn’t mean we don’t like you. This includes texts and seeing people etc.

#ADHD is taking the snack that your brother gave you to eat aside, to snack on while rewatching #Succession, and forgetting that it even existed as soon as the show started
Ah, the sounds of #ADHD and #ObjectPermanence difficulties.
Hubby's curled up in his chair with a very happy cat on his lap. Asks me to get his ice cream pop thing from the freezer.
Me, standing in front of the open freezer door pushing everything around trying to find it : "I know it's here. I saw it earlier. I touched it earlier. There it is!"
It was on top of the ice tray, mocking me while I hunted through everything else. I didn't see it because only a tiny bit of the packaging was visible, and because it's his, not mine, I didn't "landmark" it's location in my head.
I'M THE ONE THAT PUT IT THERE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. 🤦🏾♀️🤣🙄
Good grief. #ADHDer in the kitchen, y'all. 🙃
I knew I'd get distracted and forget I had this... I am a man of expected disorders. #ADHD #ObjectPermanence
Halfway thru my drive to work, I realize that I left my laptop on the cabinet in the foyer where I put things so I don’t forget them.
Maybe I could have gone back.
Instead, I’ll just have a lot of meetings today.
Tuesday is fuelled by coffee & vinyl I forgot I had 🎶 #ObjectPermanence
As a later-in-life #hEDS #AuDHD wifie I’ve always felt out-of-step 👣 without understanding why.
I’ve been #UnLearning every day because of this community on the bird site & I just wanted to say thanks to those who have found me here
