It exactly feels like that to me
I am telling to people since very long “I don’t feel time”, way longer than I know that I am on the spectrum..
Have you recognised already, that not feeling time results in feeling speed differently than others as well?
Can you elaborate on this? Like the speed you perform a task or the speed of motion? Both?
Both 😄
Both, for me
Both, plus the drug.
This is a great answer.
•Speed as in processing/performance speed= From a normal person's perspective, I can perform certain tasks at an annoyingly slow or bizarrely fast pace, but be completely oblivious the whole time.
•Speed as in the drug= A party drug from a normal person's perspective somehow alleviates my anxiety, turns the volume down on the constant bombardment and chaos of external stimuli, and allows me to focus on the most salient piece of incoming information so I don't constantly feel like this:
•Speed as in perception of an external object's velocity=distance/time, for ADHD vs neurotypical brains is the only one I don't really get off hand, but I am interested in understanding. It could be that once I hear an example it will click.
