Thank you for this article. I have yet to discuss with my doctor about this. But I have noticed several issues that are severely lacking for me compared to my peers:
1. My brain drifts away very easily. Even in an important work conversation, my brain just starts thinking about a completely different project or upcoming meeting. 2. I have a hard time remembering things/events that my spouse and others can easily recall (ie: which restaurants we have been to) 3. I can't seem to form an opinion on very basic things like do you like restaurant A or restaurant B better? do you like option A or option B? I can't decide or come up with any heuristics.
At first I chalk it up to I am being too critical about myself and others are having the same issue. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Can these all be rolled up in the same conversation with my doctor?
Probably all part of possible ADHD, except point 2, which might be a sign of SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory). It’s recent and not well known.
