[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 78465, member: 1991"] difficult child 1 had this problem, as did easy child 2/difficult child 2. Both of them improved on stims, especially easy child 2/difficult child 2 whose forgetfulness almost vanished on stims. She went from failing maths in one year, to coming first in the class six months later. difficult child 1 still had short-term memory problems even on stims, but he adapted to using his long-term memory to compensate. As a coping mechanism, we used written lists. We'd write up a list on a small blackboard and difficult child 1 would tick things off the list or rub them out as they were completed. He could pack to go on holiday, but he couldn't remember the simple directions to get from one place to another. We finally got him into the habit of carrying a notebook and pencil around with him.
