True. I apologize for my sloppy phrasing. Like you say, the forgetfulness aspect can look different. Still it must be present in some form or another.

Which makes my friend a bigger puzzle because he doesn't have that either.

Anyway, I can somehow understand a pursue for a diagnosis. None of mine really matter to me anymore, but they did at the time and I needed a name for things before I could move on. I'm not saying this is what the OP feels at all, but I still understand looking.
