Last night I performed with a few actors at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser reading real stories from clinic patients. One of the actors had an amazing wife and daughter. As soon as I saw her I knew she was different…the way she smiled and wittily engaged but looked away. We had fun talking and after a bit she said, “Do you have ADHD?” Ha ha! I was like, “Yes, I dooooo!” She told me she was autistic and studying psychology and she didn’t mean to call me out in a bad way. I said, no, it is great! You nailed it! She said something about herself and then “being annoying.” I said, “I reject anyone saying I am annoying! If they do, it is because they are so boring!” I didn’t want her to do that to herself. Plus, she was fucking brilliant!

I think time blindness might be one of the hardest parts of ADHD for me… I can genuinely think I’ve got time… and then suddenly I’m late, rushing, or completely off track. It's not that I don’t care — it’s like my brain just doesn’t register time properly in the moment. I’m starting to realise how much this impacts:– Work– Commitments– Even how I feel about myself Curious if this shows up for others too? I seem to really struggle with estimating how much time a job takes me, its not so much a problem with my own personal things (as long as no one is reliying on me) - but for work, - it is becoming a problem, as I am constatnly feeling behind, and slow... and worreid my boss might thing - "she is past it" - I thought AI might help me, and I feel like it has, but I am still feeling the pressure of being slow 👉 Does anyone else struggle with time blindness? 👉 And more importantly… what’s actually helped you manage it (even a little)?
