ADHD Time Perception Experiments

An ADHD experiment created by author Tom Hartman is discussed, where participants are asked to point toward "the future" with their eyes closed. The theory suggests that neurotypical people point forward, while those with ADHD have a non-linear sense of time and may point elsewhere. This lack of linear perception is blamed for difficulties in paying bills and maintaining schedules.
