Recently diagnosed with ASD. I am really bad at keeping track of my stuff. I am always losing things. I end up with two of something because I can't find the first one and then eventually find where I put it. It's so frustrating. I also don't get why people ask where is the last place you had it like if I knew that I could find it. I have a grounding tool that I really like but it's like it's vanished into thin air. Is this an autistic thing or just a me thing? Also any tips for stop losing things. routerlogin
This is a common occurrence for me. Training yourself to put things back immediately is a good tactic, you get in the habit of it and then misplacing things all the time becomes less. Remembering to do so however is a challenge.
My main problem is I just abandon whatever I'm using and holding and get distracted by something else. I have the attention span of a five year old, most unfortunate when it comes to remembering certain things.
