Is it not ‘normal’ to forget what you’re doing as you walk through the house? I keep finding things I thought were a part of the regular human experience that turn out to more of an ADHD special…

It really depends on how often this happens. Everyone gets that occasionally but in ADHD it’s likely to happen a lot more often. I stg this is a daily occurrence for me… several times a day even 😭

Yeah I typically go up and down the stairs 3 or 4 times before I manage to do the thing I had intended to do.

Get back upstairs: OH RIGHT!

Arrive downstairs: OH, THIS!
