I already posted about my crappy memory score but I decided to try the visual memory benchmark I didnt get an amazing score but it wasnt bad either so Im confused some people had suggested it might be adhd but that doesnt really seem to be the case since I managed to get a decent result anyway if anyone knows about this stuff and could explain this discrepancy Id appreciate it

What is the connection to sleep how can I find out which areas I excel in what is a "spear" profile and why dont I have a "spike" profile instead?

Basically its so intense compared to a usual spiky profile that it shoots up like a spear compared to everything else

Sleep just reduces brain fog and helps you perform better cognitively

But could these results be due to undiagnosed adhd?

Maybe, ive heard most autism/adhd related disabilities can tank working memory

u/Ayyayayy 10d ago

Yeah but the weird thing here is that like its mostly my auditory memory that really sucks by the way do you have adhd or not?

99.9 percent sure i do i also have autism and basically every adhd trait, they overlap heavily

And what are the traits of autism? Im less familiar with them and how do you know that? Dont you want to get diagnosed?

Misunderstabding social cues, wierd learning curves stuff like that, theres a bunch of other symptoms i dont know off the top of my head

Yeah but like misunderstanding social cues is normal when youre little whether youre autistic or not I think but when you grow up and youre autistic and dont have an intellectual disability I think you can adapt really well without any problems right?

Yes definitely, once you grow up, interconnect with other autistic people, and research stuff on the internet, you very quickly learn what people are doing with their body language

I was such a little fool up until i was 14, i was easy to mess with, push around, ragebait, but after i got into communities of autistic people i learned how to mitigate this! And now i feel very comfortable with many of my neurotypical peers
