I'd bet they had mothers who did all their thinking ahead for them so
they didn't develop that ability."

My absent-minded dh certainly didn't have that. His parents expected him to
remember everything, and really came down on him hard when he didn't :(.
We're trying much more gentle ways to help absent-minded ds learn how to
organize.

It's helpful.

Ds also writes himself a note the night before because the alarm will go off
in the morning, and he won't remember what he was getting up for.
