Do you hate being late but also do everything possible to not be too early which turns into never being on time? Are you someone who struggles to estimate how much time a task might take to accomplish no matter how many times you've done it?

One of the symptoms of ADHD is difficulty with time management and organization, which can make it challenging for individuals with ADHD to keep track of time and meet deadlines. This may lead to a perception of "time blindness," or difficulty accurately estimating how much time has passed or how long tasks will take.

There are several strategies that individuals with ADHD can use to manage their time more effectively. These may include setting specific goals and deadlines, using a planner or calendar to track tasks and appointments, breaking larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps, and setting aside specific times for focused work. It may also be helpful to use tools such as alarms or timers to help stay on track and manage time more effectively.

Time blindness, or difficulty perceiving the passage of time or estimating how much time has passed, is not a specific diagnosis, but rather a symptom that may be experienced by individuals with certain neurodevelopmental disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Some examples of time blindness in individuals with neurodiversity may include:

• Struggling to accurately estimate how long tasks will take or how much time has passed
• Difficulty managing time and meeting deadlines
• Difficulty with time management and organization
• Struggling to keep track of time and appointments

Difficulty perceiving the passage of time, such as feeling that time is moving too slowly or too quickly It is important to note that everyone experiences time differently, and these examples are not necessarily representative of all individuals with neurodiversity. It is also important to recognize that individuals with neurodiversity may have strengths and abilities that are not necessarily related to time perception.
