[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to figure this out. My husband is just hyper-focused on weird things, and I feel like I'd be better able to recognize it for what it is if I knew what it is!

Ex: Sunday morning, he's already laid out his work clothes for Monday morning. If he makes golf plans for Saturday morning, those clothes are laid out when he knows he's golfing.
Same with the cereal bowl being left out, ready for him to eat from, on Sunday morning. Just sitting on the counter all day.
Today, he offered to cook dinner. By 10:30 am, he had laid out the ingredients (other than what needs to stay in the fridge) out on the kitchen counter.
There's more, but the dinner stuff all over the counter reminded me of the other stuff, too.

[b][b]You might think he's just really detailed-oriented, but he's not. He'll also leave chore-type stuff done 80% of the way there. He'll clean the pot, but not the lid, he'll fix something but leave all the tools out, take the garbage out but not replace the liner, that kind of thing[/b][/b].[b]

But I find the other stuff weird. I get planning, but early Sunday morning you're thinking of what you're going to wear to work the next day? Or to golf? and you need to take a bowl out of the cupboard? To sit out all day Sunday? It does have some effect on me, as he lays his clothes out in our shared bathroom, the stuff is all over the kitchen right now, I always think the bowl is dirty and I go to put it in the dishwasher and he acts like I just killed his cat. Like really over the top reaction.

Is this like an ADHD thing? What could this be indicative of? I think I'm looking for a way to say to myself "ah, that's just his XYZ" instead of the internal talk of "what the @#$%?"[/quote]

That’s exactly what my DH who has ADD does. Lot of unfinished and incompletely done tasks.[/quote]
