Adding to that: Even being raised bilingual just means I can forget words in two languages simultaneously.

A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.
Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.
Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.

I had a job interview once upon a time which went very well. As the interview was ending, I was asked one final question: “tell me about a good book you read recently” which was probably one of those weird symbolic questions designed to allow the company to infer ridiculous things about you from your answer.
Anyway I had recently read “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens. However, for no reason at all, I suddenly could not recall the title of the book, nor the name of the author. I ended up calling it things like “that one classic by that famous author” and was too flustered over this to adequately describe the story. I did not get the job. (Probably dodged a bullet anyway).
I have had one formal job interview in my life and it went just as well. All the jobs I did actually get didn't require an interview at all.
What I want to say is: I feel you, and I dread the day that I have to get through that again.
