My short term memory isn’t so great, so I will often find myself putting the same things off over-and-over again in an endless loop.

Do you ever deal with this?

What are some tasks that take a lot of effort for you to do that seem easy for others?

What activities do you do when your brain wants Dopamine?

I play speed chess or the piano.

Do you have any personal “wins” that may seem small to others but are big ones for you?

Is social media a net positive or net negative for you?

Name some ways you like to procrastinate instead of doing all the things.

Have you ever been reprimanded at school, work, or somewhere else on your lack of communication skills.

Do you use subtitles when they are available? I seem to be using them more often. They really are helpful.

For those of us who drive, have you ever driven to a destination but not remember how you got there?

Do you have a good short term memory?

Mine sucks.

Have you ever been told to “just focus” when someone gets frustrated with you for not paying attention?

Do you seem to always be apologizing?

Even for things that don’t need it, because you don’t want to be a burden to others?

Do you have trouble focusing and understanding what you are reading?

I often have to re-read the same sentence, paragraph, or page over and over again before I actually grasp what it said.

And audio books are no better.

Do you need routines to function but actually dislike them at the same time?

I frequently have to re-read the same paragraph over and over again before it sinks in. It is really frustrating, and makes reading a book take forever. It even happens when I’m listening to an audio book.

Do you struggle with this?
