Yeah....then I don't remember a damn thing they said.😂

a meme featuring Dwight Schrute from The Office, with a caption that reads: “My neurodivergent ass pretending I’ll be able to remember verbal instructions someone is giving me.” The image humorously captures the blank smile of someone pretending to understand and retain spoken instructions, with a second, faded overlay of Dwight laughing, emphasizing the internal chaos or disbelief. It highlights a common experience among neurodivergent individuals, especially those with ADHD or autism. The watermark at the bottom says “@lifeinaautismworld”.

I worked with another ADHD person before (very long story, turned out to be a con artist) who rattled off instructions in a very long ramble and expected me to remember all of them.
And most of those things were half-baked and never followed-up on anyway. (I did eventually quit)

:neocat_scream: Write them all down or install a voice recorder app ffs, what is wrong with you?!

I'll be lucky if I can keep two, maybe three things in my head for any length of time.

Shitty person, but the least self-aware ADHD person I've ever met.

I'm not neurodivergent, but I still pull out my phone to write the instructions down.

I just tend to get this blank look and my wife is like...."You're not going to remember all that are you?" "nope" "Sending a text <starts texting what I need to remember with a keyword to search it with> Cause I have trained my self to check my recent texts for this stuff.

But then randomly I'll rattle off some obscure tidbit about a tv show, movie, or video game from the 80s or 90s without looking up anything. I sometimes get the "How can you remember that, but not what I told you 5 minutes ago?" The brain works weird sometimes
