The Impact of Time Blindness in ADHD

Time blindness, which is the inability to accurately perceive the passage of time, is a common issue for individuals with ADHD. It can manifest in various ways, such as getting engrossed in a task and losing track of time, or underestimating or overestimating time intervals. This can lead to difficulties with time management, punctuality, and prioritizing tasks. People with ADHD may also struggle with estimating the time required to complete a task, which can result in poor planning and organization. Time blindness, coupled with other symptoms of ADHD like impulsivity and inattention, can have far-reaching effects on academic and professional performance, as well as overall well-being.
