    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 believe it’s more of an age thing to be honest. I know plenty avid hikers who couldnt tell where’s south on a sunny day at noon, and have to navigate via maps when walking to a restaurant two blocks away, most of them without symptoms, but under 33.

        However, also my ADHD friends over 35 are pretty good in finding someplace after a quick glance at a map before starting.

      I have ADHD, I don’t use GPS 99% of the time. No reason, I just know where to go, where’s north/south etc…

      Someone can drive me somewhere and back home, and there’s a damn good chance I can do that drive again without any assistance.
