Forget to eat? No. I was a snacker. Especially when I was upset or bored.
Forget to do homework? All the time, but I was a sneaky bitch. If it was a written assignment I would do it the night before it needed to be delivered and usually I’d do okay. If it was reading assignments I would straight up not read them and then skim it in class while the teacher started doing asking rounds. Maybe they knew what i was doing or maybe I fooled them, but I almost never got a question wrong when asked in class and I had a reputation for being an okay to good student.
I don’t recommend this tactic, though. It was one of many coping mechanisms to get through life before I became aware that the issues I had been facing for most of my life were pretty much one to one ADHD symptoms. I just didn’t know any of this until my mid 30s. Also not diagnosed yet.
