    What’s the part of my brain that can’t find something if I think it’s a different color than it actually is? Like, I know the shape, I know the size, but for some reason I am certain my daughter was using the orange sippy cup today. Can’t find where she left it for the life of me.

    I suddenly remember it was actually the green one I filled today. And, yep, find it right away. It was literally right there. Why is it so important? Why do I have to know the color in the first place? Like if I was just looking for a cup of any color it would be just as difficult.

    Its to the point where if I’m looking for something and start doubting the color it was, I’ll just make up a different color in my mind to see if that helps. No idea if this is autism related or just me.
