I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but I’ve noticed an interesting difference in myself between ADHD and autism.

For example, I’ll get a bruise on my leg and think, “Where did this come from?”… and then I literally forget about it shortly after.

But then, like 2 days later, I’ll be thinking about something random and suddenly connect everything: “Oh right, it was when I hit myself on the table that day,” and I remember it in quite a lot of detail.

So in the end, there was an explanation—I just didn’t process it in the moment.

I feel like it might also be related to interoception, like I don’t fully register what’s happening in my body at the time, but then my brain reconstructs it later.

Does this happen to anyone else?
