Short time memory, a problem for people with AS?

Post Reply New Topic

I will just say that English isn't mine native language, so there might be some funny mistakes with mine grammar here.

I will start with telling a little about mine education.

After middle school have I taken 10 years with education. All the education I done that have quite much teory, has resulted in grades that is quite low. I did also take a school where it wasn't so much teory and got quite high grades. The problem was that the school with little teory lead me to a work where I always was a little bad. But I managed to keep the work since everybody suspected that I had something, and they saw that I tried as hard as I could.

But times got tougher and since I was one off the weakest workers was I about to get fired. I was in a meeting with mine boss and he had gathered every problem he could list about me. And at the end off the meeting did it slip out off him, he didn't intend to say that, it just came out; Do you have any diagnosis?

To make a long story short, that question ended in that I got the diagnosis Aspergers Syndrom. During the testing did they get some results that said mine short memory is very bad. Is this a common problem for people with Aspergers Syndrom, like the fact that we can have some problem with our controll off our muscles?

Yes, short term memory problems are common for people on the spectrum. It goes along with executive functioning problems as well, since you use your frontal cortex when you are involved in your working memory or short term memory.

I had psychoeducational testing a few years ago that showed that my working memory is very below average. What that means for me is that if I'm doing work that requires a lot of steps, I often have to read one step at least 2 or 3 times before I can finish it, because I can't hold the entire sentence of that direction in my memory long enough to do it. If I'm copying something on paper, I can only hold about 2 or 3 words in my memory before I have to look at what I'm copying from again to see what I have to write next. And I'm absolutely hopeless with numbers, because I often get the digits mixed up. (For example, if I'm working with a number like 1609.4, I will likely write down 1906.4 or 1604.9 instead, and the rest of my calculations will be wrong) or if it's a long number, I'll only be able to remember 2 or 3 digits at a time, which leads to me missing numbers or writing numbers more than once sometimes.
The biggest issue for me, though, is that when I have a project due, I have to write it down right away and keep reminding myself to do it, otherwise I'll forget. If I write something down that isn't due for 2 or 3 weeks, I usually forget about it until I hear someone else in the class talking about it a few days before it's due, and then I have to scramble to get it done on time.
