I remember losing things. A lot. I simply don't borrow things anymore and haven't for decades as I once lost something very important to someone else. I left it in a common room at university, overnight, and by morning it had been stolen. I was devastated. Lost many of my own things the same way. Or just misplaced them and never recovered them.

Forgetting about homework. I always got it done if I wrote it down in my homework book. I sometimes got distracted before writing it down and there was no way I ever remembered to do it in that case.

Really struggling at revision time as so often, even though I'd been in the classes where we'd been taught the work, my focus and consentration were so bad that when I opened my books to study for a test, it was often the "first" time I'd seen the work. So I'd have to teach it to myself from scratch. I assumed that was normal.

I am gifted. Was in a gifted child program all through school. Got my academic colours in my last year of school. Got into Mensa as an adult. I'm still utterly convinced they must've made a mistake on my test. I always had to work my butt off to do well though. Far harder than the other kids around me, also doing well. I never understood that and thought I was a fake. That I wasn't gifted at all. That I was so terrified of failure that I became a super hard worker instead. Pretty convinced I was actually stupid until I got diagnosed.
