I don't think I'm the only one judging by this article:

ADHD can make it hard for us to remember - and want - to take care of basic needs because of our usual challenges with prioritization and distractibility.

People with ADHD have reported forgetting to do things like eating, showering, and going to the bathroom.

Forgetting to tend to your basic human needs can be caused by a poor working memory, hyperfocus, and time blindness.

Anyone can experience these symptoms, as they're not exclusive to people with ADHD and/or autism.
