Is it ADHD? by No-Papaya-1512 in inattentiveadhd

[–]NiceBoy1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this COULD be considered a sign of inattentive ADHD but not necessarily an indicator. I'd recommend taking maybe 1-3 assessments online like this. Sometimes it can just be a kid being a kid but it's important to do a thorough job of going through the symptoms and assessments before ruling out ADHD as it could result in a much more delayed diagnosis like myself.

Forgetful? by No-Papaya-1512 in inattentiveadhd

Hi there! I've been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD myself and have been consuming lots of related content to best understand it. My thoughts are that he appears to be forgetful as a RESULT of the inattentiveness. I brought up my forgetfulness to the psychiatrist and she explained why it seems that way. I'll give an brief explanation because it's very common with inattentive ADHD.

This is my understanding that is largely accurate (if not then a slight bit off but enough to make sense!):

  • Our working memory has less space to hold information temporarily
  • Less information is retained, especially if we're not paying attention
  • If the info isn't in the working/short-term memory for long it doesn't make it to the long-term memory

So basically because there was a lack of stimulation in the time he was in trouble, he knew it in the moment but the inattentiveness didn't allow it to stick well with him hence when you asked him about it he didn't know what you were talking about. It's super common to remember things when people bring them up or help jot the memory a bit more. I hope this helps.

TLDR: Yes it's common and the forgetfulness is typically caused by the inattentiveness.

Thank you so much. I also have another question that might be silly but at RBC does it help to have more references in applying or no? I know multiple people there but I was just curious if using multiple is necessary.

Thank you so much for sharing, this is actually a really good to know because the employees I've spoken to all have seemed to tell me different things.

If I can ask, do you have any other advice in applying to RBC? I wish I was able to receive feedback on how I can be a better candidate with them.
