There's a difference between trying to retrieve info which was never correctly encoded into memory due to an attention deficit and trying to recover/access a lost skillset.

I've had some strange memory losses, like going through a severe episode and not being able to recall a password I'd had for 10 years! Never was able to recall it.

I have lots of very little "holes" in memory, which may be partly due to episodes and meds, yet are also most likely due to dissociation (due to mega-traumas in childhood).

At the same time, I can recall landline telephone numbers from40 years ago.

Interesting topic! Thanks for this thread!
