I'm notorious for not finding obvious things that are literally right in front of my face or in obvious spots. I also remember the most inconsistent moments of things that nobody else remembers (such as random lines people say or random small encounters).

I have panic attacks constantly about my car keys. In a way, it feels very normal, but I hate that moment where I feel I have lost them.

Exactly. I put things in very specific places so I can find them. If they're moved by someone, then I'm f****d!

Yes. My wife laughs about it, but it's extremely anxiety-producing. The only one in the family who's worse than I am about this is son #1, who's also AS.
