   Also, some people do misplace things more often than the average person, without having dementia of any kind. People with ADHD often have this problem, and also often develop very effective coping strategies. My keys, for instance, are on a carabiner, and used to clip onto my pocketbook immediately after I walked in the door. Now they go in the key bowl instead (my roommate’s strategy, which I’ve adopted). The pocketbook had a place, too – these days, on the coat rack, with my backpack (and coats). It takes time to develop these strategies, though, and that may only be done for the most important things.

    Mine do this, too. It means I have to fight them off to go to the bathroom, which is the same direction. They start assuming it’s supper time about two hours prior to my idea of the schedule.
