My son has a really poor memory. And he has a really hard time focusing his attention. It makes it very hard to do a job. Other people get frustrated with him, because it seems unbelievable that anyone could have so much trouble remembering very simple things.

Usually they think at first that he's retarded. Then when he realize he has normal intelligence, they think he's lazy or inconsiderate or just doesn't care.

Sadly, I think he cares very much - maybe too much.
