‘With ADHD there’s a common theme of “forgetfulness” i.e. “out of sight, out of mind”.
In reality, ADHD brains struggle with object permanence.
An example i like is leaving vegetables in your crisper drawer.
If you cant see them, you forget about them and then they mold.’ [[Jenks, ‘Object Impermanence in ADHD’, n.d.|(Jenks n.d., n.p.)]] ^1b1c79
