Time Blindness Explained | ADHD #shorts

[ShyGuy]

You’d think with all the watches and clocks we have now, we’d be able to master the art of telling time.

[karenjohnson]

Time is an abstract concept for everyone. It is a learned set of skills such as repeated alarms to keep on time, time blocking and many other options depending on your personality.

I have severe ADHD so I have lots of clocks in my house and I watch them carefully. I make a conscious effort to say NO to letting myself get distracted into doing anything else that isn’t involved in getting me ready to go. It takes effort. LOTS of effort. But it can be done if being on time and respecting other people’s time matters to you. If you’re to inconsiderate that it doesn’t matter, then you’ll never be on time and you’ll always have an excuse.

[Pneuma]

Have a room full of people hold their breath then ask them all how long they think they've been holding their breath and see how common "time blindness" is amongst everyone

[billypoe]

Emergency room nurse with time blindness neglects 40 people.

Look at a clock. This just sounds like an excuse to be inconsiderate. Set an alarm. There's a lot of very easy and convenient solutions for this. And it's called being responsible.

If it's important there are simple tools to help you.

I’ve been wearing a watch since high school and it was my job to get myself to school on time. I check my watch dozens of times throughout the day. It’s second nature. There’s a clock in every room of my house. The only way to combat “time blindness” is to become time conscious

[daniellenm]

I call bs. If you are always 30 minutes late, then pretend you have to be there 30 min earlier so that when you are 30 min “late”, you are actually on time. Theres plenty of methods and technology that we can use to be on time, if you are constantly late, then you are rude. I would believe it more that the true symptom of ADD/ADHD is that you have so much going on internally that you don’t have time to think about others

[illumi]

TIME BLINDNESS is not a ADHD symptom, this is just an every day people issue. If time blindness really is ADHD then the whole world has ADHD.

[Rocky]

I’m not gonna say it’s happening “soon” I’m gonna say show up at 10AM for the meeting. It’s your responsibility to be there whether that means setting 8 alarms, arriving 1 hour early, or staying at the office door. Your responsibility to be there is yours no one else’s.

[LastSifu]

Set alarms and reminders on your phone, as many as you need. That pretty much takes care of that…

[xaphiron]

I find it very annoying. One time I was doing an art project and I thought only around an hour have passed but 3 hours have passed actually. It's bothering me like everyday. It feels like time is so fast.

[irishcountrygirl]

People who cook without a timer alarm on their oven fascinate me, because I'm all flaky with time l don't understand how they can estimate, what reminds them to take the stuff outta the oven???

[LordFingers]

This happens to me. But, I simply set the alarm on my phone so as not to inconvenience others. I would never walk into work and say I have time blindness because no job would accommodate me and everyone would label you as a lazy ass who doesn’t want to work. I get caught in the craziest time vortex’s EVER. But, if I have something to do, I set an alarm. Is this not the most logical solution? I can’t imagine how I would be treated if I said, “uhhhh, guys, I know this sounds a little weird, but I have time blindness, I’m not really super late, and the reason we didn’t finish our super important project isn’t because I’m super lazy, it is because I have time blindness!!” Oh boy…… it would be a rough week until they figured out a good reason to terminate my employment.

[MrWilliam-lhky]

+ if you add in menopause brain fog, timekeeping becomes a dumpster fire 🔥😞

[Codyjrt]

If only there was something you could wear on your wrist that would show you the time. Maybe it could have some type of alarm on it.

[sisu_susi]

thank you for making this yt short seriously, you advocating, you frigging rule!!!

for those who don't
here is the reality -
*_"time blindness"_* *is a* *_neurological condition_* *, specifically, associated with the cerebellar ataxia - in the brain, yes? - when the cerebellum has been* *_damaged_* *and it* *_does not function_* *to it's fullest ability.*
*meaning - the individual cannot accurately ascertain the amount if time which has passed, because, it is a* *_cerebellar dysfunction_* *.*

[MC-ryby]

Nobody can accurately estimate time passing... that's why we have clocks. There's even one on your phone!

[Quicktwosteps]

Do you also have the same concept on reaction time? If someone is about to punch you on the face, will it take you 3 hours for your brain to register an upcoming threat in order for you to dodge? But when you get finally punched on the face, is your pain reaction time also delay for 3 hours or longer?
