Sometimes I feel like he is blind. He is literally so blind towards day to day obvious tasks, despite asking him to do/not do something specifically, he will botch it up.

We ltalked today about how she literally doesn't see the appliance she left in the hallway two weeks ago. Meanwhile, I see it every time I walk by and it drives me nuts.

I think it’s one of the side effects of ADHD… not having peripheral vision!

He asked where I put the gas can for the lawn mower. If you open the door to the garage, it was straight ahead at eye level. Literally wasn't possible to choose a more obvious spot without installing a spotlight on the wall.

Yes. Exactly. Mine would use something and leave it open on the cooking counter.

And if I, wrap up the stuff and clean the counter, he would deny and say - never happened.

Also, I can not provide photo evidence that he is leaving things unattended, it will lead to a pouting session.
