i feel nothing but an intense warmness radiating from my lower stomach this is actually very pleasant. i feel like a radiator
One of my hobby is being still angry about the Dreyfus Affair.

Vous croyez que les profs dans Harry Potter ont des “journées consacrées à l’éducation et l’échec scolaire” où il y a des “tables rondes avec des professionnels de l’éducation”.
J’imagine trop des mecs d’une assos qui débarque dans un cours de Snape, en genre 4ème ou 5ème année :
“Bonjour, est-ce que vous voudriez faire du bénévolat 2h par semaine avec un élève de 1ère année issu d’un quartier populaire ? On lutte contre les inégalités scolaires, sociales et territoriales.”
“De la diversité des approches d’apprentissage : pour une pluridisciplinarité à l’œuvre”
Et c’est juste la scène du duel Rogue/Lockhart dans la Chambre des secrets
Time blindness is the weirdest aspect of executive dysfunction and so weird as an experience to live with.
It’s like you see the clock, the clock says 3pm, you look at the clock again and it’s 3:02, then 3:05, and then you look again and it’s 8pm and WHAT THE FUCK.
You don’t even need hyperfocus. But hyperfocus is like the Warp Speed:tm: version cause when that hits, it’s 3pm and then it’s the next day and why is the sun rising and when did i last eat and oh god i need to use the bathroom. And oh, also, you’re EXHAUSTED. The act of your brain tunnel visioning on something drains you (but that’s another topic).
Time blindness is…. having the general knowledge that today is Wednesday, and you need to do something on Thursday. Thursday is logically tomorrow, but the mysterious void of time is like ‘that’s like next week or something.’
It’s knowing you have to do something in three weeks on the 21st. And as the days creep closer, the 21st is stuck in a constant state of still being 3 weeks away, despite the fact it’s now tomorrow.
It’s wild. ADHD is literally living in a constant state of “There is Now. And there is Later.” and there’s no in between; no dates, no times; no hours, weeks, or months. It’s just Now and Later, and oh god why is is X o’clock already!?
Edit:
I honestly was not expecting this post to blow up. But I’ve seen a dozen comments and tags on this saying “There’s a word for this?!”, “That’s an ADHD* symptom?!”, “This explains so much!”, and so, so many similar things.
(I want to also include that things that fall under this are also: “Man that was like last month” – it was yesterday. And “When I think about the future, I can’t see that time.” – this falls under the whole “there’s now & there’s later” thing. ‘Later’ is that nebulous thing in the future that doesn’t really exist at all.)
I’m happy this could help and/or be relatable to you. I thought I’d add some links in relevance to this:
Time management & perception is a part of executive dysfunction. Which impacts literally every aspect of our lives. (There’s a really cool diagram here).
(*I’m aware that executive dysfunction is also common with other neurodivergent disorders, ASD especially. However I’m ADHD and am speaking from my experiences & frame of reference.)
