Truth is ADHDers just have a shot working memory. AFAIK Everyone remembers high emotional intensity memories, AKA “core memories”. We all remember those fucking cringe moments 5 seconds before sleeping. Its just ADHDers just can’t remember anything else :D

That’s everyone’s brains. Emotional (and physical) intensity is the strongest reinforcement signal to any learning.

What is wild is lack of factors commonly assumed to be normal.

E.g. it’s fairly normal to have a timeline of your life available for recall at the moments notice. I, on the other hand, sometimes randomly remember a year I totally forgot I lived through and just sit there overwhelmed with no clue how to deal with the revelation.

can relate, especially when trying to read and understand theory and stuff sometimes, I have like a neuron activation whenever I am randomly walking and thinking and activate an emotional scene related and everything spills out…
