OK, I've just had an idea that even I think is weird. And extremely autistic.

But also I kinda want to do it?

I was thinking about starting to make notes for myself about people. Like, everyone will have an informal "file" and I will note things about them there.

Because I have a HUGE problem with not remembering much about people, and I've recently met so many more people, and I think I might meet more yet as time goes on.

And people like it when someone remembers a past conversation, or something they like, or something they've done, or a particular interaction.

It feels a bit like cheating, but if I have ADHD and autism and fail to remember stuff, why not be more organised about it?

People keep notes about their jobs, about their hobbies, about their own lives all the time (I mean, that's what a journal is). And aren't other people more important than any of these, arguably?
