How often do ADHDers say, “time is made up?” The neurotypical world expects ADHDers to meet deadlines and arrive at culturally appropriate moments, but often we fail - and pay the cost in school, careers, and relationships. To destigmatize our struggles and improve our daily lives, we must understand what time is - from a brain’s perspective. All brains observe time on a scale of biological needs (circadian rhythm), on a scale of task needs (intervals of seconds to minutes), and on a scale of sensory inputs or precise musical rhythms (milliseconds), and each of these areas can be impacted by ADHD. Humans’ experience of time is influenced by novelty, attention, and emotional states (uh-oh). Since these areas are altered in the ADHD population, you can bet that our experience of time will be different… but the differences don’t stop there. This session will teach you about the wonderful and weird science behind how we perceive time, how ADHDers experience time differently than our neurotypical peers, and how you can use this knowledge to improve your day-to-day life.
