I am unobservant
I used to be just as bad but something that helped me out a lot was making the map always oriented with north as “up” on the gps. It takes some getting used to and I don’t recommend it for complicated drives off the bat but it’s been a game changer. Now I actually know which streets go east/west vs north/south and have a general “map” of the city in my head since it always looks the same on gps now.
isn’t this the standard mode for maps?
This is not adhd related as far as I can tell? My entire family is afflicted but none of us rely much on navigation anywhere.
It is. Try as I might, getting distracted by things happening around me or just random thoughts makes me not remember where I need to go/have gone.
Please try and remember that symptoms and severity of same vary wildly within ADHD.
I have no sense of direction in cities but when I’m in the forest I have no problem with navigation
You any good at running and/or mountain biking? If so, orienteering might be a fun sport for you 😁
