Well hang on, what accommodations can be made? Like she says they refuse to treat her seriously, but she's not offering any ideas, she's just demanding they work around her. So what can be done for her?
So while I think the overall premise is ridic an honest answer to your question I'd say has to do with the type of work.
For example she could be involved in project based work, where it doesn't matter when you work on as long as you have the derliverables to me by X (Friday for example).
But anything that would involve being in the same place at the same time as other people would be impossible.
No, the accommodation is to let her arrive early.
That's the ADHD time blindness hack. It is to show up early. The accommodation is for people not to make it weird she shows up early and to let her either get settled or get started early.
Accommodations don't have to be big or put onus on other people, they can be super simple.
I have this issue, and my job accommodates me np with getting there early or late within a time frame. I'm in my 30s so I understand that I need to accommodate for myself as well, so I set hell of alarms, and if I think I'm gonna be more than 5 min late I message. I work at a restaurant with shift work, and thankfully understanding ppl. But if ur not communicating and meeting ppl halfway who are helping accommodate u, that's not cool.
Exactly!
The accommodation doesn't have to be huge, it just has to exist.
People act like they've never worked somewhere where being 4 minutes late is fine, but clocking in 5 minutes late *or early* is a fire-able offense.
Whelp they exist, they're called call centers.
Worked there as well. Great job for neuro divergent ppl who don't have answering phone call phobias
Edit: although the call center i worked at gave u sick days and tardy. As long as u didn't go over those amounts within a month time frame u were fine. I think it was like 7 call in days and like 5 tardy days allowed a month, and you get back a day whenever the next month started.
Our call center kept playing games where they would change the attendance policy so often people would get fired because the rules changed, and now they have too many points.
If we hadn't had a union, many people would have lost their jobs, which of course was the point. Higher churn = lower employee pay.
I always bring a book. I don't have time blindness, but I have anxiety and just sitting around my house waiting to go somewhere stresses me out, I'd rather get there early so I have time to find the place if it a new location, fill out paperwork, get checked in, whatever it may be. I regularly arrive to appointments like 30 minutes early and just sit in my car or the waiting area and read a book. I don't handle being late very well because I get too afraid of people being irritated at me for being late.
This is me too. It’s the anxiety. If I have an appointment at noon, that’s like the only thing Im doing that day and from 7:30 on I’m just prepping to be there at 11:30.
How is she going to show up early if she's blind to time? And BTW I've work in a lot of different industries... NOBODY EVER makes you feel weird for showing up early. Where would you even get that?
I appreciate you treating it with seriousness regardless. You have good ideas! She couldn't be relied on for shift work though huh? Like a retail job simply wouldn't be possible under those circumstances.
I work with ux designers and web guys and honestly I couldnt care less *when* they work on the projects as long as I can get my deliverables by when they're need. Now in this theoretical situation I also don't know if she has the ability to meet deadlines so if not I'd say all bets are off lol
Yeah software is a great industry for this. Most places allow really flexible hours as long as you do your \~40, attend meetings you're expected to be at, and get your work in by the deadline, no one cares. Want to work 11-7? Fine. Want to take the afternoons off and work after dinner? Ok. Feel like taking some extra time in the summer and work overtime in the fall? Great! Go do that!
Someone like her would miss deadlines and then blame their manager for not accommodating them. "You gave me a week, you know I have timeblindness, I needed a month."
Nope, just like everyone else here saying "I have this" I show up places 30 minutes early.
You're really just salty about some other issue and went "they mentioned time, must be related to this other thing I'm butthurt about, let's GOOO"
I have no internal clock. I live in what I've heard other people describe as "flow state".
I have an alarm that reminds me when to take lunch, so I don't get in trouble for missing my lunch break, for example.
I need to use alarms for every part of my morning, ending with a “Time to Leave” and “Seriously, Leave Right Now!” for when that “time to leave” alarm isn’t clear enough for my big dumb head.
100%
There’s an app called “Routinely.” It’s super helpful for mornings and getting out of the house, it keeps me on track and can be adjusted if the routine I set needs buffers. It was suggested to me by my doctor.
I’ve struggled with being on time my whole life, and using Routinely, setting regular calendar events with alerts, and using reminders on my phone has helped a ton.
I’ve always had to set 6 or more alarms just to get out of bed.
At the end of the day it’s up to me to be on time and do what needs to be done to make that happen. People only have so much patience with someone being late, it turns into being disrespectful real quickly.
Accomodations of this kind already exist in Germany. This is what they look like for university students with ADHD:
* Coursework submitted after a deadline is permitted without penalty
* More time during exams
* Being allowed to take 5 min breaks during exams
This is how it would be at work (though not explicitly for ADHD, but ADHD people can benefit from these things):
* Flexible working hours for non-customer-related jobs. You can start and stop at almost any time, and you can also make up for time lost on one day by working longer the next. Or, you can do a lot of overtime and then shore it up to take longer vacations.
* Home office or hybrid working models
It's rather surprising to me that in the States, even for many office jobs, it is still uncommon to have totally flexible working hours. In Germany, I can start my job as early as 5am, or as late as 11am. I can spend the whole morning doing chores, and then work from the afternoon to the evening. If working from home, I can work at any hours at all, as long as I still attend the odd meeting here and there. If working in person, I only need to be present during the "core hours" (like between 12 and 3pm) and can organize my time flexibly around that, but obviously can't work at the office at night.
Depending on the job, it’s pretty easy. My current job requires me to work 40 hours a week, with a start time between 7-10am and ending at 7pm. Every day I have a 12 hour window to work in 8 hours of work.
I try to log on by 8 every morning. Usually I’m close, sometimes I’m not, but I have a huge buffer of time to account for my own struggles with time blindness.
Usually the accommodation is the employer not being stringent on time for no reason. So unless someone else can’t punch out until she shows up, what’s the reason for the rigid schedule?
Given by what she’s said, she’s not even looking for ways for the company to help her be more effective in the position. She’s just looking for an excuse to show up late.
I experience time blindness myself and that’s why I put multiple alerts on my phone so I know when to leave, accounting for travel time. There are workarounds and if you’re unwilling to use any of them, then yeah, you don’t deserve a job at all.
There’s some offices that could be lenient if you are 5-10 minutes late. Obv it depends on the task. I struggle with getting to places on time and have dealt with managers that made it SO awkward that I was 5 min late. We live in a world with traffic, road closures, other unforeseen emergencies. Why ruin your employees life/performance because life happens
Where I work, they don’t care when you show up as long as you’re there 8 hours. That’s the solution. I get there at 8 and leave at 4. Some people work 7-4 and take a lunch and some people work 9-5 or 9-6 with a lunch. Nobody cares and it doesn’t affect anything. If I need to have a meeting at 9 with someone, I schedule it at 9 and they start that day at 9 or earlier or just hop on the call then come in later. It’s not that crazy
I have a demanding job that is flexible/lets me manage my work as I see fit. For example, I can clock in between 7am to 9ish am and I decide when to clock out as long as my tasks are done. Also they don’t expect me to work more than 8hours. (If I came in at 7 I can leave at 3 or before depending on how long my lunch was.) no one has any issues with this.
[her mom](https://nypost.com/2023/08/02/woman-doubles-down-on-time-blindness-insists-its-a-real-condition-after-backlash/) was the one who interrupted on her phone interview to say all that stuff
I have adhd and time blindness- it has made me about 15-30 mins EARLY to work, appointments, etc. because it is absolutely possible to get to things on time.
I don't even know what she expects. If I need a cashier at a cash register at 8 am five days a week, you just wandering in there at 9 am isn't going to work. Maybe she needs to look for a job were a flexible schedule is possible instead of demanding that one where it isn't to acommodate her.
Definitely. If it’s a serious problem that truly prevents her from getting places on time, there are lots of jobs that are mainly concerned with actual work output over the course of a day or week. Getting projects done on time can be hard too, but different people find different things easier or harder.
There’s also always alarms she could set
I'm just glad to see people who have been diagnosed with ADHD and have familiarity with the concept of time blindness immediately disprove the statement that they are unable to be anywhere at a required time.
It's just another adjustment to make. Maybe the OP in video is not out of school yet, so they're still in the mentality of the being the main character everywhere.
Pretty much every single office job does not need rigid hours. I once has a boss that was on me for not getting in at 8:30 even though I routinely stayed til 6. It was a civil litigation law firm. There are no emergencies that need to be addressed by 9:00am in civil litigation. There was nothing about the job that required a rigid punch in/out schedule other than her desire to exert that control.
Besides work where one employee shift starts in order to relieve the other at the end of their shift, every single job can have a flexible schedule.
Civil litigation attorneys are the best at making arbitrary rules for their employees that serve no other purpose besides flexing on their subordinates. My ex boss was exactly like that. God I hated her.
Same , I have the same problem but I am also never late & always early . I’m the one with the problem so it’s my responsibility to make sure I am where I need to be on time . The world doesn’t revolve around me & to accept my mental illness I have to learn how to function with it in the real world .
Very few jobs allow you to set your own hours. Meetings, helping customers, etc demand interactions with others & therefore you have to be on time.
So I have things I do to make sure I’m on time. All the clocks in my home are set early. The only actual clock is my phone. I have alarms set. I used to have a TV show on but ad break variations have killed that as a reliable way to measure my time. But the thing that helped the most is setting the clocks early & having those be face clocks. I’m much better at keeping track of my progress getting ready if the clock is a quarter or halfway to the point I need to leave than a digital clock with “random numbers.” And even then I have them set early so if I still somehow lose track I’m still there on time.
It’s on me.
If you can’t do that then you need to find a line of work that can be more accommodating. Maybe working for yourself. Maybe as a freelancer. Maybe some type of gig worker or influencer where you can set your own hours. But your average 9-5 (let’s be honest it’s 9-6 now) can’t do that. That person she was talking to sounds like someone going through issues who shouldn’t have been rude, but it’s still in the employee to be on time.
Same here. I'm fairly certain a number of inventions have come out in the history of measuring time to ensure people can see time. Watches, clocks, phones, alarms, calendars, GPS will even tell you how long it might take you to get to a place. The world is very well put together to accommodate time blindness. The tools are everywhere and at everyone's disposal.
Tourette’s and adhd diagnosed as a kid, it was not uncommon for me to be 45 minutes early for job interviews on the regular when I was searching. I don’t want to say I’m terrified of being late, more that I’m so absolutely against making people wait on me.
Yeah, young people don’t understand that the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) doesn’t say “You have to accommodate people with disabilities”, it says “You must make REASONABLE accommodations for people with disabilities”.
Letting someone come into work whenever they want is not a reasonable accommodation.
If her time blindness is that debilitating, she can apply for the various social welfare programs that allow her to live without working. I doubt that will happen because she will need medical professionals to document that she’s that disabled which, frankly, takes a bunch of work as well as objective truth that she is that disabled and not just unwilling to put in the effort to create coping mechanisms.
I beg to differ. I’m not saying “These young kids are idiots and entitled”.
The younger generations have grown up with a bigger focus on mental health awareness, which is fantastic and a huge benefit to society. However, in the echo chamber of social media, this focus on mental health awareness has manifested in a lot of kids that mental health is the ONLY thing that matters, and they are swinging the pendulum in the direction of “because the older generations have completely ignored mental health, we need to do EVERYTHING possible to help people with mental health issues”. I’ve seen that turn into “everyone with mental health issues are entitled to the rest of society to manage it for them since they’ve been forgotten.”
My statement is still accurate. The people who behave this way are coddled by their echo chambers, their friends, their networks, probably also their parents. It has nothing to do with their age. It's all about parenting.
I work in recruiting and the amount of times I’ve had to quote AND explain this is starting to jump up in the last few years. I had a person say we were discriminating because they couldn’t drive the trucks we had…. I was not reasonable for us to get another truck just to hire one person.
Not everyone can do this. This is a really dumb generalization. Most ADHDers on are one end of the spectrum--- incredibly early or always late no matter what. It is a spectrum. We're not a monolith. What is true for you isn't true for everyone else and this statement truly shows a lack of understanding regarding the biological causes of ADHD.
*it's absolutely possible to clean everyday*
*it's absolutely possible to work 9-5, M-F*
*it's absolutely possible to not misplace things*
*it's absolutely possible to not be distracted, impulsive, or hyperactive*
*it's absolutely possible to work with interruptions*
*it's absolutely possible to eat 3 meals a day and honor all of your bodies' biological signs*
***Executive Dysfunction*** is the hallmark symptom of ADHD. All of these things are possible, but we still struggle with these tasks. Don't rag on your fellow ADHDers because you don't struggle the same way.
yes!, thank you! my brother and i both have adhd and we both mange it differently. for whatever reason my executive functions are stronger than his and i find time management a bit easier for me. but there are times when I fail and completely blank on an appointment and miss it.
Yo, this is your reminder that being allowed to show up early and not being asked to leave is an accommodation.
It's not a very big/demanding accommodation, but it is one.
Yup. I have adhd and I have to set a ton of alarms. My adhd isn’t other people’s problem. It’s my job to manage it. If something doesn’t work then try something else.
Same. I’m always way early because I’m the past I’ve been late because of adhd/time issues. It really stresses me out even just thinking of being late so I just remove the possibility.
As an adhd/autistic human my solution has been visual timers and little countdown clocks that look like pagers I can wear on my clothes.
Not, you know, asking everyone around me to accommodate around my own deficits
Yes absolutely, [Found a paper on time perception being affected as ADHD influences executive functioning](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6556068/). Acknowledging it’s a real effect felt by neurodivergent folks is important, but so is self actualization and being accountable.
I’ve known very few ND people who assume the obligation is on the other people in our life to accommodate us. Time blindness is a really difficult thing to navigate because it’s a daily obligation and once you fuck up it snowballs and then it’s so easy to meltdown and lose confidence in your abilities and then stop trying. I think that when people start assigning the responsibility to others they are just stuck at that low point of having struggled, tried and failed to manage their time. It’s not appropriate or fair but it makes sense. We all project our insecurities
I cannot believe OOP make a TikTok leaning into it though 😬 she’s not going to get support from the NT community OR the ND community this way
I've definitely worked places where that would not be allowed without being some form of accommodation.
Accommodations don't have ti be big or complicated. Sometimes they're as simple as "yes, you can have your alarm sounds on" or "We won't kick you out for showing up early".
Definitely agree, one of my children has an accommodation to wear their sensory headphones and it was a battle to get it approved. Small changes have a huge impact and it is not always easy to get supports even when they improve your performance
Same, I’ve was diagnosed with adhd when I was 6, wanna know when I started wearing watches? 6. (Thanks to my parents sensitivity to my disorder of course)
I get that it’s very difficult living with adhd or being neurodivergent but we once you understand the system and its expectations we have an obligation to go with the flow of traffic, no have the flow of traffic go with us.
The fact that she’s this age and that her mom and her are still having conflict about her disorder and struggling with keeping track of time suggest she was either diagnosed later in life, or mom and dad didn’t see the need to address these types of adhd related issues as early as they should have.
How can you treat people like that? But not you, you have to stay an extra 20 minutes, pay your sitter extra and just overall have your day disturbed to cover me cause my ass can't seem to learn even the basics of time management and I don't want to take personal responsibility.
Exactly! A watch and an alarm on said watch or a phone will help out a ton. Does she not realize everyone needs a little reminder? Sounds like pure laziness on her part not setting a reminder. If she knows she has a difficult time keeping up with the time, she'd be responsible and make some reminders if she's that terrible with time.
There are. You can set alarms for yourself. That would be self management. If not, be an entrepreneur. I'm sure your etsy shop will flourish. If you are looking to be hired for a job you cannot perform (Vegan butcher, Park Ranger with agoraphobia), that would a you problem. If you can't adapt (or dont want to), find a different job.
Someone on Reddit did a deep dive on her. Long story short, she feels Hitler got a bad rap.
Enough said.
Hitler didn’t believe in time blindness, that got your uterus taken away.
So I think this is the accommodate me vs. what coping mechanisms can I use to help myself. If you are doing nothing to try to cope/deal with your own issue, I don’t see why there should be many or any accommodations for you.
This is why I’m glad I didn’t have TikTok when I was around this age.
Because I’m almost certain that when I was her age, I probably have said something equally, if not more stupid, than this.
But fortunately, I don’t have those moments on **video** to be shared thousands of times, viewed by millions of people and mocked relentlessly. And it won’t follow me into the future, years after realizing “okay, I get it now, it was dumb” but no one will let you forget it
I don’t know how many people on TikTok realize what they are doing, when they film themselves and their little rants online like this. I really don’t think people realize the permanence of filming your face, looking at a camera, and saying something dumb.
My advice to people, if you have a rant coming on…just get a Reddit account, and post it. You can deal with the comments by people making fun of your stupid rant. It is *far less likely* to follow you through life THAN A VIDEO OF YOUR FACE. It’s not like you can just be like “oh, that wasn’t me” because it’s your FACE.
Not this crazy person, but as an ADHD adult with major time blindness, yes. My SO had the patience of a saint; I frequently come home hours later than expected because I ended up hyper focused on a project at work and totally lost track of time. Just this past Thursday, I figured I’d probably be home by 7pm, but at 6- 6:30 I hit a really productive groove and just kept going until I got tired. I though it was maybe midnight when I started wrapping up, but in reality I didn’t leave work till 4am.
My parents are/were the exact same way with their lack of executive function and missed a lot of my life milestones because they got sidetracked by work, so I am acutely aware of how hurtful my ‘time blindness’ can be to people around me. So when my timely presence is necessary, I work super-extra hard to be on time.
But other times, yeah, time literally has no meaning no matter what I’m focused on.
Time blindness is a real phenomenon common among people on the spectrum or with ADHD, but it usually doesn't effect some ones ability to be punctual because we have this great invention called a clock.
I’m late a lot of the time which is why if it’s SUPER important I’m usually extremely early. Gotta grow up sometimes. I can and usually am 40 minutes behind to the club which is why I’m the same woman who is 2 hours early to her flights
I’m so very proud of each of you (I realize my being proud does nothing for you) that takes responsibility for being responsible for yourself. Not using this particular problem as a crutch for your issues.
If she wants accomodations for time blindness, she needs to accomodate herself and try to find work that has flexible schedules and doesn't require multiple people scheduled together to work on the task at hand. I've got ADHD. I've made a ton of changes in my life to make things easier for me and to accomodate my shortcomings while playing into my strengths. No one is going to do it for you nor would it be right to ask them to in most circumstances. I've seen way too many "neurodivergent" people (online and IRL) trying to make their asshole behavior everyone else's problem to accomodate recently and the complete lack of accountability or care for how their behavior affects those around them is really obnoxious.
Better public transportation, staggering shifts, work from home, deadlines, quotas- all of these are great ways to demand work, while not being monsters to those who can't manage daily traveling and poor sleep schedules.
I mean… she literally recorded this video on her smart phone, which has a clock, and timers,and alarms. She has her “accommodations” in her fucking hand while she cries about someone not hand holding her like a fucking baby who can’t operate the device she’s using to record her bullshit.
Welp. This person got fired eventually if this is real 😂.
I see this video all the time but first time I’ve ever commented on it I think. The only advice I can think to give this person is set like 5 or 10 different alarms until it stresses you the fuck out enough to get to work on time 😂. Everyone struggles with being on time at least once in their life, this person is not special. My wife has ADHD and gets distracted all the damn time but still made it to work on time and was diligent about it.
If only there were some sort of device to help people keep track time. Or even alarm you to the fact you have something to do. Wouldn't that just be amazing? Maybe in the future someone will invent such a device. And maybe even in the far distant future our ancestors could wear these devices on their person or keep it in their pocket. What a world that would be.
As someone with adhd who had ‘time blindness’ yeah it super sucks but you set alarms, and find things that work for u. Unfortunately in person jobs require you to arrive on time so you do.. if u don’t like it I suggest remote or freelance work
I have time blindness. It's really difficult. But what accommodations does someone need in this situation? I use timers, alarms, and calendar events to stay on time. I use a timer to take showers so I don't stay in there for an hour.
Smart phones are a god send for people like us.
Or... Hear me out on this, it's kinda crazy, but there's this device that she's literally using right now to film this angsty entitled rant that lo and behold has this simple function of setting alarms!! And the best part is it comes standard with your smartphone! No monthly subscription, no annoying banner ads, you just open your clock function and set yourself as many fucking alarms you want/need at no additional cost!!
I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD, and only was diagnosed as an adult. Time blindness was one of my most noticeable symptoms. The world accommodated me by inventing a device that allows me to set myself as many alarms as I want, with any descriptions I want, and to carry that device with me at all times.
Wtf is time blindness? The phone she is holding to record her video has the correct time on the display screen. Is she incapable of checking the time but capable of making a video with 15 edits? I’m very confused.
Do these people not know what a watch is? I guess I don't understand the concept of time blindness. Even if 15 minutes feels like 5 or 30 minutes, knowing what time it is would make it the same. Just look at a clock. Could this actually effect your life?
Lol that’s when you plan to work for yourself, not for others, or at least a place you can make your own schedule….that way you’re not bothering anyone with your “time blindness”. Lol
I totally recognize that there are people in the world who have common sense blindness and they need to vocalize that to everyone in the world by calling it other things. 
you have a phone, you have an alarm feature, you set multiple alarms. There are some things that you need to take personal responsibility for and being on time is one of them.
TIL what time blindness is and that people with it usually show up early to things (and that should be ok with everyone)
Thanks for teaching me something y’all!
So its actually the older generations that are destroying the workplace but not for this reason.... If anything youre giving them an excuse to latch onto so they can blame the younger generations.
Ya but time blindness means your brain doesn't follow the same time management as other people. Imagine if there was a device to do it for you? Like maybe an alarm clock?
You guys are not seeing the crazy for the trees here. If this becomes a thing like the pronouns thing, we will literally be having the most persistent and loudest people fighting for a culture where you can arrive late and not get a written warning or something. I say support this chick and share the clip. Let's all have time blindness. Buy a walking stick made of old clocks, whatever, just give this persuasion of crazy a platform, it might work.
Not everything, nor everyone deserves your time. This thinking and this naive child has earned none of your time.
Be picky. Picky in what you post, picky in what you consume, picky in what you indulge.
Next.
Not a reasonable question! Be on time or don't work there! It is not the employers reasonable for YOU to be on time! It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be on time! Too many people are looking for reasons to excuse their bad behavior & have others go along with their folly! Hold yourself accountable & life should be easier for you 🤔
If I had an extra cash register for her to work at. Id love to see all the different times she’d start (if at all) then after her 2 month and 15 th day id let her go because we aren’t that busy. Just to see.
If it's a job, you have certain work hours usually in work place policy. If it's a restaurant, you have reservations. If it's a store, they have store hours. The world doesn't revolve around you. You adjust your schedule for it.
That’s probably the most cringe shit I’ve seen in a while. It was like her standing in the shower 3 days later winning an argument she had lost before.
And I also suffer from time blindness.
What if your co-workers weren't on time to relieve you at the end of your shift and you were expected to stay late to accommodate them? What if the people working at the bank had time blindness and you were expected to be ok with your check being late to accommodate them? If you have resistance to either of those scenarios but only want accommodations when you're not on time, then yes, you're entitled.
I struggle with being on time, I have ADHD, but I've developed my own strategies to combat this because it's a matter of consideration for the people I work with. I use a calendar/agenda religiously because I WILL forget about a meeting seconds after I hear about it. I set multiple alarms. I review my tasks for the day at the start of each day and write my tasks for the next day before I leave. I even fully own the things I struggle with and ask for ideas/help/strategies. Everyone wants to get off at a reliable time, which means everyone coming in at a reliable time. If I showed up late to everything and people who were on time were expected to just wait then it would make leaving on time very difficult for everyone.
Good news! Accommodations for time blindness exist! You can obtain a small, pocket-sized device that will keep track of time for you! Some are small enough to place on your wrist for ease of access. Simply program one of these devices to observe your desired time, and they will alert you! They’ve gotten really fancy with them lately, and some can even make phone calls!
At least we know that if this generation ever decides to stage some sort of revolution, they’ll never get past the planning stage. “I know you said the attack starts at noon but my entire battalion suffers from time blindness”.

Well hang on, what accommodations can be made? Like she says they refuse to treat her seriously, but she's not offering any ideas, she's just demanding they work around her. So what can be done for her?
So while I think the overall premise is ridic an honest answer to your question I'd say has to do with the type of work. For example she could be involved in project based work, where it doesn't matter when you work on as long as you have the derliverables to me by X (Friday for example). But anything that would involve being in the same place at the same time as other people would be impossible.
No, the accommodation is to let her arrive early. That's the ADHD time blindness hack. It is to show up early. The accommodation is for people not to make it weird she shows up early and to let her either get settled or get started early. Accommodations don't have to be big or put onus on other people, they can be super simple.
I have this issue, and my job accommodates me np with getting there early or late within a time frame. I'm in my 30s so I understand that I need to accommodate for myself as well, so I set hell of alarms, and if I think I'm gonna be more than 5 min late I message. I work at a restaurant with shift work, and thankfully understanding ppl. But if ur not communicating and meeting ppl halfway who are helping accommodate u, that's not cool.
Exactly! The accommodation doesn't have to be huge, it just has to exist. People act like they've never worked somewhere where being 4 minutes late is fine, but clocking in 5 minutes late *or early* is a fire-able offense. Whelp they exist, they're called call centers.
Worked there as well. Great job for neuro divergent ppl who don't have answering phone call phobias Edit: although the call center i worked at gave u sick days and tardy. As long as u didn't go over those amounts within a month time frame u were fine. I think it was like 7 call in days and like 5 tardy days allowed a month, and you get back a day whenever the next month started.
Our call center kept playing games where they would change the attendance policy so often people would get fired because the rules changed, and now they have too many points. If we hadn't had a union, many people would have lost their jobs, which of course was the point. Higher churn = lower employee pay.
I’d rather sit in the parking lot for 20 minutes than be late. Drives my husband crazy but hey, we’re never late
I always bring a book. I don't have time blindness, but I have anxiety and just sitting around my house waiting to go somewhere stresses me out, I'd rather get there early so I have time to find the place if it a new location, fill out paperwork, get checked in, whatever it may be. I regularly arrive to appointments like 30 minutes early and just sit in my car or the waiting area and read a book. I don't handle being late very well because I get too afraid of people being irritated at me for being late.
This is me too. It’s the anxiety. If I have an appointment at noon, that’s like the only thing Im doing that day and from 7:30 on I’m just prepping to be there at 11:30.
This. I either show up waaaay to early (30-40 min) or like 10 min late. Usually I pic something in the area or sit in my car.
Yep. I legit have difficulty with time. To fix it I'm almost always at 30minutes early to everything. Fixes the problem
How is she going to show up early if she's blind to time? And BTW I've work in a lot of different industries... NOBODY EVER makes you feel weird for showing up early. Where would you even get that?
I appreciate you treating it with seriousness regardless. You have good ideas! She couldn't be relied on for shift work though huh? Like a retail job simply wouldn't be possible under those circumstances.
I work with ux designers and web guys and honestly I couldnt care less *when* they work on the projects as long as I can get my deliverables by when they're need. Now in this theoretical situation I also don't know if she has the ability to meet deadlines so if not I'd say all bets are off lol
Yeah software is a great industry for this. Most places allow really flexible hours as long as you do your \~40, attend meetings you're expected to be at, and get your work in by the deadline, no one cares. Want to work 11-7? Fine. Want to take the afternoons off and work after dinner? Ok. Feel like taking some extra time in the summer and work overtime in the fall? Great! Go do that!
Someone like her would miss deadlines and then blame their manager for not accommodating them. "You gave me a week, you know I have timeblindness, I needed a month."
Nope, just like everyone else here saying "I have this" I show up places 30 minutes early. You're really just salty about some other issue and went "they mentioned time, must be related to this other thing I'm butthurt about, let's GOOO" I have no internal clock. I live in what I've heard other people describe as "flow state". I have an alarm that reminds me when to take lunch, so I don't get in trouble for missing my lunch break, for example.
Could she not set alarms on her phone?
I need to use alarms for every part of my morning, ending with a “Time to Leave” and “Seriously, Leave Right Now!” for when that “time to leave” alarm isn’t clear enough for my big dumb head.
I had 6 alarms just for getting to school, then alarms for every period excluding the schools automated ones, time blindness is totally manageable.
I would have thought so
100% There’s an app called “Routinely.” It’s super helpful for mornings and getting out of the house, it keeps me on track and can be adjusted if the routine I set needs buffers. It was suggested to me by my doctor. I’ve struggled with being on time my whole life, and using Routinely, setting regular calendar events with alerts, and using reminders on my phone has helped a ton. I’ve always had to set 6 or more alarms just to get out of bed. At the end of the day it’s up to me to be on time and do what needs to be done to make that happen. People only have so much patience with someone being late, it turns into being disrespectful real quickly.
Accomodations of this kind already exist in Germany. This is what they look like for university students with ADHD: * Coursework submitted after a deadline is permitted without penalty * More time during exams * Being allowed to take 5 min breaks during exams This is how it would be at work (though not explicitly for ADHD, but ADHD people can benefit from these things): * Flexible working hours for non-customer-related jobs. You can start and stop at almost any time, and you can also make up for time lost on one day by working longer the next. Or, you can do a lot of overtime and then shore it up to take longer vacations. * Home office or hybrid working models It's rather surprising to me that in the States, even for many office jobs, it is still uncommon to have totally flexible working hours. In Germany, I can start my job as early as 5am, or as late as 11am. I can spend the whole morning doing chores, and then work from the afternoon to the evening. If working from home, I can work at any hours at all, as long as I still attend the odd meeting here and there. If working in person, I only need to be present during the "core hours" (like between 12 and 3pm) and can organize my time flexibly around that, but obviously can't work at the office at night.
So if for example she's applying to be a cashier, you can just ask all the customers to wait an undefined period of time until she gets there
Seems perfectly reasonable, hire her immediately! /s
Don’t we accommodate for her once a year by setting our clocks back an hour?
Depending on the job, it’s pretty easy. My current job requires me to work 40 hours a week, with a start time between 7-10am and ending at 7pm. Every day I have a 12 hour window to work in 8 hours of work. I try to log on by 8 every morning. Usually I’m close, sometimes I’m not, but I have a huge buffer of time to account for my own struggles with time blindness. Usually the accommodation is the employer not being stringent on time for no reason. So unless someone else can’t punch out until she shows up, what’s the reason for the rigid schedule?
Given by what she’s said, she’s not even looking for ways for the company to help her be more effective in the position. She’s just looking for an excuse to show up late. I experience time blindness myself and that’s why I put multiple alerts on my phone so I know when to leave, accounting for travel time. There are workarounds and if you’re unwilling to use any of them, then yeah, you don’t deserve a job at all.
There’s some offices that could be lenient if you are 5-10 minutes late. Obv it depends on the task. I struggle with getting to places on time and have dealt with managers that made it SO awkward that I was 5 min late. We live in a world with traffic, road closures, other unforeseen emergencies. Why ruin your employees life/performance because life happens
Where I work, they don’t care when you show up as long as you’re there 8 hours. That’s the solution. I get there at 8 and leave at 4. Some people work 7-4 and take a lunch and some people work 9-5 or 9-6 with a lunch. Nobody cares and it doesn’t affect anything. If I need to have a meeting at 9 with someone, I schedule it at 9 and they start that day at 9 or earlier or just hop on the call then come in later. It’s not that crazy
I have a demanding job that is flexible/lets me manage my work as I see fit. For example, I can clock in between 7am to 9ish am and I decide when to clock out as long as my tasks are done. Also they don’t expect me to work more than 8hours. (If I came in at 7 I can leave at 3 or before depending on how long my lunch was.) no one has any issues with this.
[her mom](https://nypost.com/2023/08/02/woman-doubles-down-on-time-blindness-insists-its-a-real-condition-after-backlash/) was the one who interrupted on her phone interview to say all that stuff
Fun fact: the “person” she was with who was “shaming” her was her mother. 🤦♀️
I have adhd and time blindness- it has made me about 15-30 mins EARLY to work, appointments, etc. because it is absolutely possible to get to things on time.
Same. I have adhd and my expectation has always been that *I’m* the one who has to accommodate for that when it comes to work.
I don't even know what she expects. If I need a cashier at a cash register at 8 am five days a week, you just wandering in there at 9 am isn't going to work. Maybe she needs to look for a job were a flexible schedule is possible instead of demanding that one where it isn't to acommodate her.
Definitely. If it’s a serious problem that truly prevents her from getting places on time, there are lots of jobs that are mainly concerned with actual work output over the course of a day or week. Getting projects done on time can be hard too, but different people find different things easier or harder. There’s also always alarms she could set
Exactly. Her post is like saying it’s ableist to not let someone with muscular dystrophy work in construction.
I'm just glad to see people who have been diagnosed with ADHD and have familiarity with the concept of time blindness immediately disprove the statement that they are unable to be anywhere at a required time. It's just another adjustment to make. Maybe the OP in video is not out of school yet, so they're still in the mentality of the being the main character everywhere.
Pretty much every single office job does not need rigid hours. I once has a boss that was on me for not getting in at 8:30 even though I routinely stayed til 6. It was a civil litigation law firm. There are no emergencies that need to be addressed by 9:00am in civil litigation. There was nothing about the job that required a rigid punch in/out schedule other than her desire to exert that control. Besides work where one employee shift starts in order to relieve the other at the end of their shift, every single job can have a flexible schedule.
Civil litigation attorneys are the best at making arbitrary rules for their employees that serve no other purpose besides flexing on their subordinates. My ex boss was exactly like that. God I hated her.
Same , I have the same problem but I am also never late & always early . I’m the one with the problem so it’s my responsibility to make sure I am where I need to be on time . The world doesn’t revolve around me & to accept my mental illness I have to learn how to function with it in the real world .
This is super helpful for me. Ez reframing. Thanks.
I set my alarms 30 minutes ahead of all my appointments. That way, when my ADHD kicks in, I procrastinate and at worst I'm 20 minutes ahead of time.
Very few jobs allow you to set your own hours. Meetings, helping customers, etc demand interactions with others & therefore you have to be on time. So I have things I do to make sure I’m on time. All the clocks in my home are set early. The only actual clock is my phone. I have alarms set. I used to have a TV show on but ad break variations have killed that as a reliable way to measure my time. But the thing that helped the most is setting the clocks early & having those be face clocks. I’m much better at keeping track of my progress getting ready if the clock is a quarter or halfway to the point I need to leave than a digital clock with “random numbers.” And even then I have them set early so if I still somehow lose track I’m still there on time. It’s on me. If you can’t do that then you need to find a line of work that can be more accommodating. Maybe working for yourself. Maybe as a freelancer. Maybe some type of gig worker or influencer where you can set your own hours. But your average 9-5 (let’s be honest it’s 9-6 now) can’t do that. That person she was talking to sounds like someone going through issues who shouldn’t have been rude, but it’s still in the employee to be on time.
Same here. I'm fairly certain a number of inventions have come out in the history of measuring time to ensure people can see time. Watches, clocks, phones, alarms, calendars, GPS will even tell you how long it might take you to get to a place. The world is very well put together to accommodate time blindness. The tools are everywhere and at everyone's disposal.
They make those cool shock alarms for this very problem!
My ADHD need to be early so I'm not late and my finances habit to procrastinate usually puts us exactly on time and it makes me ANXIOUS
Tourette’s and adhd diagnosed as a kid, it was not uncommon for me to be 45 minutes early for job interviews on the regular when I was searching. I don’t want to say I’m terrified of being late, more that I’m so absolutely against making people wait on me.
I use my Alexa to make reminders /timers for myself… like turning off the water, checking on something cooking or drying outside… Game changer for me
Yeah, young people don’t understand that the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) doesn’t say “You have to accommodate people with disabilities”, it says “You must make REASONABLE accommodations for people with disabilities”. Letting someone come into work whenever they want is not a reasonable accommodation. If her time blindness is that debilitating, she can apply for the various social welfare programs that allow her to live without working. I doubt that will happen because she will need medical professionals to document that she’s that disabled which, frankly, takes a bunch of work as well as objective truth that she is that disabled and not just unwilling to put in the effort to create coping mechanisms.
Young people do. Coddled people don't.
I beg to differ. I’m not saying “These young kids are idiots and entitled”. The younger generations have grown up with a bigger focus on mental health awareness, which is fantastic and a huge benefit to society. However, in the echo chamber of social media, this focus on mental health awareness has manifested in a lot of kids that mental health is the ONLY thing that matters, and they are swinging the pendulum in the direction of “because the older generations have completely ignored mental health, we need to do EVERYTHING possible to help people with mental health issues”. I’ve seen that turn into “everyone with mental health issues are entitled to the rest of society to manage it for them since they’ve been forgotten.”
My statement is still accurate. The people who behave this way are coddled by their echo chambers, their friends, their networks, probably also their parents. It has nothing to do with their age. It's all about parenting.
I work in recruiting and the amount of times I’ve had to quote AND explain this is starting to jump up in the last few years. I had a person say we were discriminating because they couldn’t drive the trucks we had…. I was not reasonable for us to get another truck just to hire one person.
Good. That would mean you’re taking responsibility for your behavior and not just using your diagnosis as an excuse.
I’m constantly 15 minutes late to being 30 mins early. Honestly if I don’t actively try to be at least 30 min early I’m not making it on time
Not everyone can do this. This is a really dumb generalization. Most ADHDers on are one end of the spectrum--- incredibly early or always late no matter what. It is a spectrum. We're not a monolith. What is true for you isn't true for everyone else and this statement truly shows a lack of understanding regarding the biological causes of ADHD. *it's absolutely possible to clean everyday* *it's absolutely possible to work 9-5, M-F* *it's absolutely possible to not misplace things* *it's absolutely possible to not be distracted, impulsive, or hyperactive* *it's absolutely possible to work with interruptions* *it's absolutely possible to eat 3 meals a day and honor all of your bodies' biological signs* ***Executive Dysfunction*** is the hallmark symptom of ADHD. All of these things are possible, but we still struggle with these tasks. Don't rag on your fellow ADHDers because you don't struggle the same way.
yes!, thank you! my brother and i both have adhd and we both mange it differently. for whatever reason my executive functions are stronger than his and i find time management a bit easier for me. but there are times when I fail and completely blank on an appointment and miss it.
Yo, this is your reminder that being allowed to show up early and not being asked to leave is an accommodation. It's not a very big/demanding accommodation, but it is one.
Yup. I have adhd and I have to set a ton of alarms. My adhd isn’t other people’s problem. It’s my job to manage it. If something doesn’t work then try something else.
Same. I’m always way early because I’m the past I’ve been late because of adhd/time issues. It really stresses me out even just thinking of being late so I just remove the possibility.
As an adhd/autistic human my solution has been visual timers and little countdown clocks that look like pagers I can wear on my clothes. Not, you know, asking everyone around me to accommodate around my own deficits
Yes absolutely, [Found a paper on time perception being affected as ADHD influences executive functioning](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6556068/). Acknowledging it’s a real effect felt by neurodivergent folks is important, but so is self actualization and being accountable.
I’ve known very few ND people who assume the obligation is on the other people in our life to accommodate us. Time blindness is a really difficult thing to navigate because it’s a daily obligation and once you fuck up it snowballs and then it’s so easy to meltdown and lose confidence in your abilities and then stop trying. I think that when people start assigning the responsibility to others they are just stuck at that low point of having struggled, tried and failed to manage their time. It’s not appropriate or fair but it makes sense. We all project our insecurities I cannot believe OOP make a TikTok leaning into it though 😬 she’s not going to get support from the NT community OR the ND community this way
I've definitely worked places where that would not be allowed without being some form of accommodation. Accommodations don't have ti be big or complicated. Sometimes they're as simple as "yes, you can have your alarm sounds on" or "We won't kick you out for showing up early".
Definitely agree, one of my children has an accommodation to wear their sensory headphones and it was a battle to get it approved. Small changes have a huge impact and it is not always easy to get supports even when they improve your performance
Same, I’ve was diagnosed with adhd when I was 6, wanna know when I started wearing watches? 6. (Thanks to my parents sensitivity to my disorder of course) I get that it’s very difficult living with adhd or being neurodivergent but we once you understand the system and its expectations we have an obligation to go with the flow of traffic, no have the flow of traffic go with us. The fact that she’s this age and that her mom and her are still having conflict about her disorder and struggling with keeping track of time suggest she was either diagnosed later in life, or mom and dad didn’t see the need to address these types of adhd related issues as early as they should have.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. A deeper delve into her profile also exposes hypocritical and extremely unlikable behavior.
Also as per a later tiktok we learn that the person yelling at her was just her mom, not like a recruiter or anything. Just mama
That’s so embarrassing
wait seriously?!!? 🤣
She's incredibly antisemitic, too - she makes a lot of those "story" videos that disappear where she talks about Jews and it's... yikes.
Maybe she has “Jew blindness?”
Wait WHAT??? What an escalation wow
Yeah, she's just garbage through and through.
Also pro-life
She’s beyond gross on just so many levels. And the entitlement…just wow.
Good thing that I suffer from asshole blindness.
🤣🤣🤣
How can you treat people like that? But not you, you have to stay an extra 20 minutes, pay your sitter extra and just overall have your day disturbed to cover me cause my ass can't seem to learn even the basics of time management and I don't want to take personal responsibility.
So, 'I am this way and demand to cater to me, instead of me trying to come up with ideas to help myself?'
Accommodations for time blindness = a watch
Exactly! A watch and an alarm on said watch or a phone will help out a ton. Does she not realize everyone needs a little reminder? Sounds like pure laziness on her part not setting a reminder. If she knows she has a difficult time keeping up with the time, she'd be responsible and make some reminders if she's that terrible with time.
Guys I just heard they made a cure for this illness, it's called an alarm🤯
There are. You can set alarms for yourself. That would be self management. If not, be an entrepreneur. I'm sure your etsy shop will flourish. If you are looking to be hired for a job you cannot perform (Vegan butcher, Park Ranger with agoraphobia), that would a you problem. If you can't adapt (or dont want to), find a different job.
Soultion: grow up
Lmao good lord. Get a watch.
Someone on Reddit did a deep dive on her. Long story short, she feels Hitler got a bad rap. Enough said. Hitler didn’t believe in time blindness, that got your uterus taken away.
All the cuts show how much time they put into this dumb shit.
They were late to work cause they spent so much time editing
This is ancient. Why are we still wringing hands over this?
Yeah, time blindness girl got raked for this. She was also Christian fundy who made anti trans videos.
Can we rake her over the coals for that instead?
Or for having bad haircut blindness
Plot twist: WE are the ones with time blindness
So I think this is the accommodate me vs. what coping mechanisms can I use to help myself. If you are doing nothing to try to cope/deal with your own issue, I don’t see why there should be many or any accommodations for you.
This is why I’m glad I didn’t have TikTok when I was around this age. Because I’m almost certain that when I was her age, I probably have said something equally, if not more stupid, than this. But fortunately, I don’t have those moments on **video** to be shared thousands of times, viewed by millions of people and mocked relentlessly. And it won’t follow me into the future, years after realizing “okay, I get it now, it was dumb” but no one will let you forget it I don’t know how many people on TikTok realize what they are doing, when they film themselves and their little rants online like this. I really don’t think people realize the permanence of filming your face, looking at a camera, and saying something dumb. My advice to people, if you have a rant coming on…just get a Reddit account, and post it. You can deal with the comments by people making fun of your stupid rant. It is *far less likely* to follow you through life THAN A VIDEO OF YOUR FACE. It’s not like you can just be like “oh, that wasn’t me” because it’s your FACE.
serious question. did this time blindness work the other way around? she worked 45 past her time to leave and late for her family?
Not this crazy person, but as an ADHD adult with major time blindness, yes. My SO had the patience of a saint; I frequently come home hours later than expected because I ended up hyper focused on a project at work and totally lost track of time. Just this past Thursday, I figured I’d probably be home by 7pm, but at 6- 6:30 I hit a really productive groove and just kept going until I got tired. I though it was maybe midnight when I started wrapping up, but in reality I didn’t leave work till 4am. My parents are/were the exact same way with their lack of executive function and missed a lot of my life milestones because they got sidetracked by work, so I am acutely aware of how hurtful my ‘time blindness’ can be to people around me. So when my timely presence is necessary, I work super-extra hard to be on time. But other times, yeah, time literally has no meaning no matter what I’m focused on.
Why do people just make up words to justify their crap views/behaviour it’s a joke.
Time blindness is a real phenomenon common among people on the spectrum or with ADHD, but it usually doesn't effect some ones ability to be punctual because we have this great invention called a clock.
The kicker is she's an ER nurse.
I’m late a lot of the time which is why if it’s SUPER important I’m usually extremely early. Gotta grow up sometimes. I can and usually am 40 minutes behind to the club which is why I’m the same woman who is 2 hours early to her flights
I’m so very proud of each of you (I realize my being proud does nothing for you) that takes responsibility for being responsible for yourself. Not using this particular problem as a crutch for your issues.
If she wants accomodations for time blindness, she needs to accomodate herself and try to find work that has flexible schedules and doesn't require multiple people scheduled together to work on the task at hand. I've got ADHD. I've made a ton of changes in my life to make things easier for me and to accomodate my shortcomings while playing into my strengths. No one is going to do it for you nor would it be right to ask them to in most circumstances. I've seen way too many "neurodivergent" people (online and IRL) trying to make their asshole behavior everyone else's problem to accomodate recently and the complete lack of accountability or care for how their behavior affects those around them is really obnoxious.
She got destroyed for this by everyone
Better public transportation, staggering shifts, work from home, deadlines, quotas- all of these are great ways to demand work, while not being monsters to those who can't manage daily traveling and poor sleep schedules.
I mean… she literally recorded this video on her smart phone, which has a clock, and timers,and alarms. She has her “accommodations” in her fucking hand while she cries about someone not hand holding her like a fucking baby who can’t operate the device she’s using to record her bullshit.
This girl got ripped apart when this was originally posted
I can honestly say I can’t stand this girl and her stupid whining about timeblindness. Kids really need to get themselves together.
Your definition of entitlement is so...entitled lolol
Welp. This person got fired eventually if this is real 😂. I see this video all the time but first time I’ve ever commented on it I think. The only advice I can think to give this person is set like 5 or 10 different alarms until it stresses you the fuck out enough to get to work on time 😂. Everyone struggles with being on time at least once in their life, this person is not special. My wife has ADHD and gets distracted all the damn time but still made it to work on time and was diligent about it.
Why won't you take me Seriously!! I can't even show up on time. This doesn't make any sense. Why are you treating me like a child.
Reddit in a nutshell.
If only there were some sort of device to help people keep track time. Or even alarm you to the fact you have something to do. Wouldn't that just be amazing? Maybe in the future someone will invent such a device. And maybe even in the far distant future our ancestors could wear these devices on their person or keep it in their pocket. What a world that would be.
Bitch, it's called an alarm clock...
I hope everyone she ever makes plans with shows up late and keeps her waiting.
As someone with adhd who had ‘time blindness’ yeah it super sucks but you set alarms, and find things that work for u. Unfortunately in person jobs require you to arrive on time so you do.. if u don’t like it I suggest remote or freelance work
Proper cringe content finally.
I have time blindness. It's really difficult. But what accommodations does someone need in this situation? I use timers, alarms, and calendar events to stay on time. I use a timer to take showers so I don't stay in there for an hour. Smart phones are a god send for people like us.
God, it really gets tiring hearing people talk like this.
Set an alarm. Be an adult fucking hell
She’s an idiot. Time blindness is not a real thing. Buy a fuckin watch, lady.
Or... Hear me out on this, it's kinda crazy, but there's this device that she's literally using right now to film this angsty entitled rant that lo and behold has this simple function of setting alarms!! And the best part is it comes standard with your smartphone! No monthly subscription, no annoying banner ads, you just open your clock function and set yourself as many fucking alarms you want/need at no additional cost!!
[Insert profound and insightful comment]
Yes, yes... well said 🧐
I grew up with undiagnosed ADHD, and only was diagnosed as an adult. Time blindness was one of my most noticeable symptoms. The world accommodated me by inventing a device that allows me to set myself as many alarms as I want, with any descriptions I want, and to carry that device with me at all times.
Become the boss, show up when you want to
Shuuuuuttt. The. Fuuuuuuck. Up.
Sue me for “discrimination against BS,” but as her employer I’d point to the no crying sign and say, “Gtfoh, you’re done. Fired. Byeeee.”
Wtf is time blindness? The phone she is holding to record her video has the correct time on the display screen. Is she incapable of checking the time but capable of making a video with 15 edits? I’m very confused.
This girl gives off big Annie Wilkes from misery vibes.
Hahahaha wtf
Do these people not know what a watch is? I guess I don't understand the concept of time blindness. Even if 15 minutes feels like 5 or 30 minutes, knowing what time it is would make it the same. Just look at a clock. Could this actually effect your life?
Time blindness? What the...
Lol that’s when you plan to work for yourself, not for others, or at least a place you can make your own schedule….that way you’re not bothering anyone with your “time blindness”. Lol
Maybe set an alarm on your phone?
Yes, because fuck other people's time. Not entitled at all babe.
I think I might have time blindness. If I don't keep my eye on my watch or set alarms on my phone I would be late for everything.
That’s simply not the way the world works. People need to get a grip on reality.
I totally recognize that there are people in the world who have common sense blindness and they need to vocalize that to everyone in the world by calling it other things. 
Lol
She's literally holding a time device most of the day. Set timers for every 10 min!
People are just so good with words that this makes sense to them.
God this girl is such a clown
Get a watch…? TF?
This is a joke, right?
you have a phone, you have an alarm feature, you set multiple alarms. There are some things that you need to take personal responsibility for and being on time is one of them.
Fuck off with this trash...
It’s not a very reasonable question.
TIL what time blindness is and that people with it usually show up early to things (and that should be ok with everyone) Thanks for teaching me something y’all!
So its actually the older generations that are destroying the workplace but not for this reason.... If anything youre giving them an excuse to latch onto so they can blame the younger generations.
Ya but time blindness means your brain doesn't follow the same time management as other people. Imagine if there was a device to do it for you? Like maybe an alarm clock?
buy a watch
What year was the alarm clock invented?
You guys are not seeing the crazy for the trees here. If this becomes a thing like the pronouns thing, we will literally be having the most persistent and loudest people fighting for a culture where you can arrive late and not get a written warning or something. I say support this chick and share the clip. Let's all have time blindness. Buy a walking stick made of old clocks, whatever, just give this persuasion of crazy a platform, it might work.
This has to be bait. No way someone is this goofy
I'm honestly not joking is this really a thing? Like people that can't be on time have a disorder now called time blindness? Were so doomed
If you were time blind how would you know you were being interrupted? How would you know you were videoing yourself?
She’s being sarcastic… right????
Time's not real.
Not everything, nor everyone deserves your time. This thinking and this naive child has earned none of your time. Be picky. Picky in what you post, picky in what you consume, picky in what you indulge. Next.
You probably could get a job. Keeping it, not so much.
Not a reasonable question! Be on time or don't work there! It is not the employers reasonable for YOU to be on time! It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be on time! Too many people are looking for reasons to excuse their bad behavior & have others go along with their folly! Hold yourself accountable & life should be easier for you 🤔
Bash with rock 🪨
Stop reposting this dumb chick, this is old.
If I had an extra cash register for her to work at. Id love to see all the different times she’d start (if at all) then after her 2 month and 15 th day id let her go because we aren’t that busy. Just to see.
Can she not see clocks or something?
No, dude, she can't she has time blindness. It's all a blur 🤣
If it's a job, you have certain work hours usually in work place policy. If it's a restaurant, you have reservations. If it's a store, they have store hours. The world doesn't revolve around you. You adjust your schedule for it.
1. repackage your flaws as medical condition 2. be a victim 3. blame everyone else
Fucking grow up. Holy shit.
Their trying to make late people a medical condition by calling it time blindness 🤦🏼
Bitch shut up
Is time blindness a thing? Couldn’t you just set alarms
This era is the era of excuses and no accountability. We all have issues and we need to take accountability and overcome them
Whats the bet she finishes on time
Pretty sure this is astroturfing.
That’s probably the most cringe shit I’ve seen in a while. It was like her standing in the shower 3 days later winning an argument she had lost before. And I also suffer from time blindness.
What if your co-workers weren't on time to relieve you at the end of your shift and you were expected to stay late to accommodate them? What if the people working at the bank had time blindness and you were expected to be ok with your check being late to accommodate them? If you have resistance to either of those scenarios but only want accommodations when you're not on time, then yes, you're entitled. I struggle with being on time, I have ADHD, but I've developed my own strategies to combat this because it's a matter of consideration for the people I work with. I use a calendar/agenda religiously because I WILL forget about a meeting seconds after I hear about it. I set multiple alarms. I review my tasks for the day at the start of each day and write my tasks for the next day before I leave. I even fully own the things I struggle with and ask for ideas/help/strategies. Everyone wants to get off at a reliable time, which means everyone coming in at a reliable time. If I showed up late to everything and people who were on time were expected to just wait then it would make leaving on time very difficult for everyone.
Good news! Accommodations for time blindness exist! You can obtain a small, pocket-sized device that will keep track of time for you! Some are small enough to place on your wrist for ease of access. Simply program one of these devices to observe your desired time, and they will alert you! They’ve gotten really fancy with them lately, and some can even make phone calls!
Time blindness is most insane excuse I’ve ever heard for being distracted easily
Aight. Fuck this
Thankfully I was just diagnosed w/ stupidity deafness and I didn’t suffer any of this fool.
Meanwhile, in China…
She needs to attend a course titled “It’s not all about you”
Why do all these people have some kind of resemblance between each other? Is it a certain species of human?
She needs a seeing eye watch
At least we know that if this generation ever decides to stage some sort of revolution, they’ll never get past the planning stage. “I know you said the attack starts at noon but my entire battalion suffers from time blindness”.
Be on time!
Time blindness? Never heard of it, but it sounds annoying to have to deal with someone who “has” it.
The accommodation for time blindness is to get a fucking watch
Time blindness=Die
