    Being unable to think of something without a prompt.

    I guess most people can just remember things without sticky notes and calendars.

      i have approximate knowledge of many things; accessing it without the right trigger may take a while though.

      i know i know something but i have accepted that my brain will often only grant me access days later in a completely unrelated situation 🤷🏼‍♂️

        You ADHD? I was almost 40 before I learned about inattentive type ADHD. As far as I knew, ADHD was spastic kids that couldn’t sit still. Since I was more of the daydream and fall asleep type, I never would have thought I was part of that crowd.

          Pretty sure, yes.

          I’m over 40 and i’ve had this and many other symptoms my entire life.

          No official diagnose though; but this 160 questions-test for example says i’m pretty high up there: https://www.adxs.org/en

          I’m also the daydream and fall asleep type ☺️
