[quote=Anonymous]My severely inattentive son has time blindness. I surrounded him with countdown style visual timers when he was in elementary school, so he could visualize the amount of time he had left at any given task, since the numbers meant nothing to him. The brand is Time Timer. In secondary school, he had an analog watch with the hour and minute hands. Now in college he has his phone with him at all times. His time blindness has diminished over the years, but it's still there. The issue now is doing stuff like taxes, planning ahead to apply for internships, working as a team for major projects in class, etc. He can't seem to understand that none of these things should be last minute efforts, otherwise he'll live in a constant state of panic, and that if other people need to wait for his part of the work to do theirs, they will get super resentful, and rightly so, if he doesn't given them enough lead time.
