Question: Thank you for answering questions Dr. Faraone! 
  
  I just have one question for now. Recently I’ve been reading up a lot about time blindness and how much it occurs in people with ADHD. However this “symptom” is not yet in the DSM. What is your view on time blindness as part of ADHD?
Answer: Impairments in temporal processing are clearly associated with ADHD although, like all of ADHD's manifestations, not all patients will have such problems.   I think it was not in DSM because life problems in time management typically emerge later in life and the DSM criteria were designed for children.  Ideally, we'd have completely separate criteria for kids and adults.
