Reply to comment by Ketosheep in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

I seriously doubt you struggle with object permanence. Do you know an item or person still exists somewhere in the world when you cannot physically see them? Then you developed object permanence as a baby, like everyone else!

If you struggle to find things after you’ve put them down, but understand that they still exist, then you’re struggling with remembering where you put things, sometimes called out of sight, out of mind. It’s very different to object permanence.

People with ADHD often forget what things they actually own unless they are out and visible all the time. They often buy duplicates because they forget they already have one. If that's not object permanence struggles, then what would that be called?

That's just forgetfulness, object permanence is understanding that objects continue to exist even when you can not observe them.

I buy duplicates, I surprise myself with things I find in my closets. I do remember people but forget to talk to them for months.
