How many of you that are on the spectrum have memory issues?
I ask because my short term memory is awful, I find verbal instructions hard to follow, I find it hard to recall conversations, any television programs I watch no matter how interested I am with it, I find it impossible to talk about the program or quote it as I cant explain what has happened and cant remember any verbal details, even music, I obsessively listen to music all the time and I still do not know many of the words to any song (except Queens Bohemian Rhapsody). Its almost as if anything verbal goes into my head and just does not stay there.
Is this a common thing amongst people on the spectrum?
