Consistently misplacing my belongings

I was recently diagnosed with ASD, and I struggle a lot with keeping track of my belongings. I'm constantly losing things and end up with duplicates because I can't find the original item, only to discover it later in an unexpected place. It's incredibly frustrating, and I don't understand why people always ask, "Where was the last place you had it?" If I knew that, I wouldn't be searching!

I have a grounding tool that I really rely on, but it seems to have disappeared into thin air. Is this plnkgame.com a common autistic trait, or is it just something unique to me? Also, do you have any tips for preventing myself from losing things in the future?

  • My experience is with autistic people. I can look somewhere and not see something, then return later and it's there. My son also autistic loses things so we have multiples of a lot of things. My father I think was autistic and often lost things.

    I lost an earring in my previous house and after numerous searches decided one earring was no good. Unfortunately it turned up when we moved so when I lost a different earring I have kept the other in case the other turns up one day.

    At home I try to have set places for things which helps.
