ADHD and Working Memory

Working memory is probably the biggest problem that people with ADHD have as a rule. Some people are very good at remembering numbers, but they have a lot of trouble remembering what they just heard in a conversation. For example, if you call the information operator up to get a phone number and you have to hold in your head while you dial it because you have no piece of paper to write it down on,. That's often hard for a lot of people with ADHD who start transposing the digits.
