ADHD Sign #6: Forgetfulness
While it is normal for anyone to experience some degree of forgetfulness, people with ADHD tend to forget a lot more than normal. Of course, to forget some petty details like what you ate for breakfast has little or no consequence. However, it can be frustrating to the individual.
And then again, forgetfulness can have serious consequences. For instance, forgetting the deadline for a job task can affect performance rating. Forgetting the date of a job interview can lead to the loss of an opportunity to get a job. These consequences of forgetfulness can frustrate and cause a person with ADHD to feel hopeless. It can also adversely affect their self-confidence.
