I understood what she was referring to, but never came across anhyone else that talked about it (then agaain I didn't really look until recent circustances lead me out of denial).The following quoted statements taken from the above article are the first legitimate remarks I've read regarding when I've been experiencing with my ADD. Could you point me to more resources regardint time blindness, perhaps clinical studies? "Time parcels moments out into separate bits so that we can do one thing at a time. In ADD, this does not happen. In ADD, time collapses. Time becomes a black hole. To the person with ADD it feels as if everything is happening all at once. - Thankfully this doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does…This creates a sense of inner turmoil or even panic. The individual loses perspective and the ability to prioritize. He or she is always on the go, trying to keep the world from caving in on top."
