    What does ADHD have to do with this? I’m not sure that I get it.

      I can’t remember to do shit because I don’t experience the mental construct of time in the same way as neurotypicals. And even with an alarm, it’s still an extra cognitive load that makes me more likely to mess up everything else. If I forget the clothes on the line for a week, they’ll degrade in the elements and get mildew from the night dew. Inside is a better place for me to forget my clothes. I have less stuff to remember for less time, an alarm is more help to me, and I don’t have to plan for unexpected variables.

      The drying machine is a disabled person’s ally.

        I see - remembering to bring the laundry inside is the issue.

        While there’s nothing wrong with using a dryer - I’m certainly not going to deny you the privilege - perhaps hanging the clothes inside could be a passable workaround for the memory issue? Assuming your indoor environment allows for it, that is.
