Example of AuDHD flubs

Autistic long term memory making combined with Short-term memory AuDHD: example…

I woke up early, before 4:30am … so I got up, went to the bathroom, instant video memory working to remind myself that my sink’s hand soap needs refilled so needed to use my husbands (dual sinks.)

So walk right past hubby’s sink and right over to my sink and thwop thowp … no soap. AUGHGHHGHGHHHHH

I had the solution from the day before knowing my soap was running out and my hubby’s was fine to use and I did last night, putting those memories in my memory banks for future use (I knew I needed it and it would work.)

Sure, it worked, then distractable thoughts that I paid no mind to anything but getting to my sink to wash my hands.

The routine I have of going to my sink and using my own soap dispenser … took over.

It’s like making a cup of coffee with that mindless routine … then I remember I need to think and recall what I did, and I can’t because I was auto-ADHD-ing my coffee. (Did I get a new k-cup, take the old one out first, or what?)

I can slow down and force myself to make a memory while doing something, sometimes. That’s the problem with AuDHD, contradictions and unreliability.

I knew immediately while berating myself that I had to put this in my blog. I got it, eventually baked bread, coffee, tea, and toast, then I finally ooohh, I have to write that out.

Brains.
