Losing Items

As a result of the hyperactivity, reduced ability to concentrate and reduced attention span that ADHD causes, forgetfulness is another common symptom. It may be hard to recognize forgetfulness at first. However, one commonly noticed sign is losing items.1‘Symptoms.’ NHS, 21 Sept. 2020, www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/symptoms
