The disabling effects of time blindness in neurodivergent individuals are often underestimated, overshadowed by more apparent symptoms. This common but often misunderstood trait in neurodivergent individuals, can have profound consequences on their daily lives and future prospects. Unlike mere forgetfulness or distraction, time blindness presents a unique challenge that affects how individuals with autism and ADHD navigate the world. By recognizing and addressing these cognitive hurdles, caregivers, educators, and therapists can offer tailored support and interventions to help neurodivergent individuals thrive.

  • Why time blindness is so much more than losing track of time.
  • What physiologically is creating cognitive hurdles.
  • The disabling impacts on functioning.
  • How caregivers, educators, and therapists can offer tailored support and interventions.
