Yeah. ADHD people notoriously have time blindness.

well fuck. This and a meme i saw about people with adhd making lists of things to look up later and keeping 100 tabs open is making me think I might need to see the Dr, make sure.

Good luck! Hopefully it's just ordinary disorganisation, but yeah, don't rule out your brain running on a dopamine deficiency.

Maybe an oversimplification but the brain not having sufficient regular access to dopamine is definitely not pseudoscience.

And don't forget those neurotransmitter (esp. norepinephrine) deficiencies/reuptake issues. Big component of the executive dysfunction leg of ADHD. NNRI therapy (Strattera) has been hugely helpful for me on the executive front.
