My 20 year old son is exactly the same. I just heard of the term Time Blindness yesterday. This is what my son has and he must have ADD as well. I wanted him to get tested for it but he got really mad. He is extremely hard to be with because he is always late. He get very angry if you keep reminding him to get ready. It seems like he blows up every 2 or 3 days about something. It seems like he can’t do anything. Like make himself a sandwich, bring his laundry upstairs, make an appointment for something, put his clothes that are too small into a plastic bag to donate. He basically won’t do anything I ask but says he will. It’s so frustrating that I don’t want to do anything with him.

I have tried different medications and dosis, but its not a miracle medicin for me. i have also tried all kinds of strategies and tools for managing all the challenges of a adhd mind. Nothing has helped me, and Im not able to work anymore. I struggle a lot with time blindness and fatigue. And I’m always late for appointments. My time blindness is also linked to fatigue and when I need to get ready, im struggling to start. I try to take a bath in the evening before, so I just have to get dressed and also avoid doing other task as go shopping or taking the dishes…. I really have to prioritize and choose where I’m using my energy,. If I’m going out in the evening I have to rest before I leave the house, and if I have a early appointment, I need to get home and rest in thr afternoon. I have taken powernaps for many years, and have to plan my days. The time blindness have been worse, and being late diagnosed have worn out my brain. What I wanted to say is that fatigue also ..have a big impact, and make me wait until the last moment to get ready …I apologize for my English, Im Danish trying my best.

My son is being tested for ADHD right now and has always struggled with waking up, even if the day ahead is expected to be a fun activity. He also will have hour long showers if allowed to, he seems to lose track of the time. I’ve always thought it was the sensory pleasure of staying in bed or being in a nice shower. But maybe it is a form of time blindness.

Ditto. Relate completely.

When I first was exposed to this topic of “time blindness” it described the neuro-atypical person’s concept of time is very often one of “NOW” or “NOT NOW.” That describes me very much , and my time challenges have been lifelong. Being a natural “night owl” whose cycadean rhythms as set for nocturnal peak awareness has not helped either. Time just doesn’t register with my “right brain” as something I FEEL is elapsing constantly despite my “left rain” fully knowing HOW time operates.
