copying from our automod response for convenience  x200b  please be aware that that object permanence is the understanding that something continues to exist even if you arent looking at it its part of early childhood development not adhd its why babies get so surprised if you play peek-a-boo you cover your face and they legitimately dont realise your face still exists  people with adhd can have difficulty with working memory but when we forget about something we still know it exists ie parking your car outside and then entering your house means your car is no longer in sight - but you know it will still be there the next morning even if you forget where you parked it without object permanence once the car leaves your sight it no longer exists  this difference may seem subtle or semantic even but its important we dont attribute false symptoms to an already misunderstood disorder working memory dysfunction is a known part of adhd that has been studied and written about  your post hasnt been removed and this is not a punitive action this comment is meant solely to be informative
