I am finding it hard to understand things,,Example,mom goes put this on the floor for the dogs she hands me a dish with dog food in and I throw the food out the bowl onto the floor,,another one I have a pony and mom goes turn the pony out (outside it is cold and the pony is clipped) so I just "turn the pony out" but it has no rug on and I dont think about I just do as I am asked dose any one else have this as I seem to do it rather alot!
Thanks,:)

Ya I remember one day I had a bad case of it
Mom went shopping and I had to bring in the groceries.
I put the coffee in the sugar bowl...which I had to dump out the sugar and save as much coffee as I could
5 min later... I put the frozen vegtables in the dry cabinet
then 30 min. later, I went to feed the bird and fed her goldfish food in her water

At this point, I screamed...HELP, I have lost it!! !

so dont feel bad, that is called "executive functioning dysfunction" which is common in AS
