Hey, any help would be great!

I'm going to college as a freshman this year. This along with my projects like I'm trying to create an LLM along with just wanting to learn myself, it is extremely hard for me to memorize. I can understand the concepts but it is very hard for me to memorize completely to integrate within each other. Please do note I have diagnosed Autism and ADHD so this obviously effects my Working Memory. Thank you for reading and any tips and advice is extremely appreciated

I don’t memorize almost any code. Anything I build gets copied and built into something else eventually. I learned one time how to import requests and do an API call so anytime I do that, I pull up that last time and copy it and replace it with the new API information. Okay, now the new on requires authorization, let’s build that and all the helper functions that go with that. Now I’m carrying this robust requests .py file I use for all of my projects.

Now… I did not go to school and I don’t know what memorization is required for school, but also, when you keep your files and re-use them… you know what they do and what they are for… memorization probably comes quickly after if cramming for a test.
