Now I feel bad. I had an ex who would always lose track of time and I wasn’t understanding enough (being late by several hours and forgetting important things like her first chance at a covid shot, or getting lost while driving and having spent an hour driving around the neighborhood without realizing how long she’d been lost for). Timers make a lot of sense, if you can remember to set them.

I’ve gained a lot of empathy for folks dealing with this as I’ve seen my brother’s struggles up close. I definitely didn’t understand the dynamics before. One of the things we’ve talked about is how otherwise “normal” he seems to most people, and the problems this causes. The symptoms aren’t as obvious as wearing a cast on your broken leg, or having severe speech issues, etc. and as a result, people are more likely to get frustrated or not understand when the symptoms spill over and affect other people (being late, forgetting things, etc).
