My difficulty remembering names and where I might know them from doesn't mean I don't care or have no memory of them. No, memory tricks do not work and three decades of trying was enough. Just let me know who and where and the memories will come flooding back.

ADHD really sucks when people frequently put so much importance on remembering the 'right' details like names. Not rmembering your name does not mean I don't like you, it means my brain filed it away a couple years ago!

I to get wierd reactions to not having good enough name recall. I know who you are. I recall our interactions. Just not your designation.

Every time I meet someone I warn them I'll probably can them Francis for the first few weeks, it's the only name I remember. After that they usually get a laugh out of it and play along until either the name sticks or they get a nick name.
