A recent example of mental load challenge for Laura: her son is in summer camp doing a Junior Olympics event on Friday where he needs to wear a specific outfit, but Laura asked her neurotypical husband to get details about the outfit during camp dropoff while she was at work, and he forgot to ask—now Laura has to remember to remind him again and figure out whether to order something, adding to her mental burden.
