i have a theory as to why input being welcome in my expirience my episodic and semantic memory is shit as i’m sure is the case for most people here and i think as a natural coping mechanism to that we not necessarily the subredditadhd community as a whole just we as in those who can relate have learned to rely on procedural memory more than the next which i also think is where many of the ‘benefits‘ of adhd come in to play natural coping mechanisms that cause us to excel in non deficient areas that anyone could technically excel at they just have no reason to rely on and strengthen those cognitivebehavioral mechanisms particularly for the life long length of time we do so when the why is unknown you’re remembering only the steps as opposed to the system ie procedure as a whole  edit to make more sense of that for those unaware we humans seems to have three basic somewhat separate forms of long term memory episodic explicit memory of specific events semantic dates names etc and procedural how to do something walking dancing math etc
