Time Agnosia
Also known as: Time Blindness
Difficulty accurately perceiving the passage of time, common in ADHD and often manifesting as losing track of hours while scrolling, underestimating how long tasks take, or chronic lateness. The ADHD community increasingly prefers the term "agnosia" over "blindness" to avoid ableist framing that draws on visual-impairment metaphors. Time agnosia intersects with executive dysfunction and is a key target of accommodations such as visual timers, body doubling, and external cues.
