Why ADHD Memory Works Differently (It’s Not Forgetfulness)

Ever feel like your brain drops something the second you need it, like names, birthdays, a text you meant to send, or what you walked into the room for? If you have ADHD, that isn’t being careless. It’s often working memory and executive function, and it can affect a lot more than where you put your keys. In this video, Caroline Maguire explains why ADHD memory works differently, how it can quietly impact friendships and relationships, and the practical tools that help you stay connected without living in shame.
