The whole list thing and how you should organize all the task depending on how urgent they are never worked for me.
I have been told to do this, but I can't do it without a lot of help. It's as if my brain doesn't compute that some things are more urgent than others. All things are equally urgent in my head. So you can tell me to do it, even ask me which task is the most urgent one, and I'll just stare at you as if you just spoke to me in Russian. I don't fucking know. I don't know what is more important. I don't know what I need to do first.
When someone else breaks it down for me, I totally see it. It's like the fog lifts and it's so simple and easy to understand, but the second they leave me to do it on my own, I'm back in the fog and everything looks the same. Equally urgent.
I've gotten a tiny bit better at it with age, but I am still pretty shite overall.
Also, disclaimer: not officially diagnosed. Just for good measure.
