A lot of us with ADHD are familiar with the concept of time blindness, but for anyone who isn't: it's a neurological inability to have a consistent sense of the passage of time. If you put me in an empty room, gave me a button and told me to press it when I think it's been 15 minutes, I might press it after..... idk, anywhere between 3 minutes and 2 hours? And if we repeated it the next day the result would probably be wildly different!

But something I've only seen mentioned in one (1) Reddit post, which took some extensive digging to find, is the same effect extending to ALL things measured in numbers. Distance, weight, length, height, amount, space, volume, percentage... For me, small numbers are a bit easier, I could approximate a centimetre probably, but a metre would be much harder and 10 or 100 would likely miss the mark by a lot. Also, anything that can't be easily measured with a ruler or a measuring tape (like weight or volume) is even harder since I don't encounter reference points (like a 1kg hand weight) for those as frequently as I see visual representations of specific lengths.

It's not dyscalculia or anything like that, I'm decent at math (and the OP of the Reddit post was a math major) and I have no other difficulties with numbers, it's just a disconnect in translating real life experiences like sensory input into numbers (and possibly also inconsistent processing of sensory input? Like how the same sound volume is okay one day but hurts my ears the next?), which I think is basically the same thing as what happens with time blindness. For now I've been calling it "measurement blindness" since I've never seen a name for it anywhere, but maybe "quantity blindness" could also work?

I've talked to other people with time blindness to see if they experience this too, but so far none of them have known what I'm talking about. I'd really like to know how many of us are out there and if anyone knows literally anything actually scientific about this very inconvenient phenomenon!

Tl;dr: bc I am wordy:

It's like time blindness but for all things measured in numbers

Not dyscalculia or caused by it

Pretty much never seen it talked about anywhere

Please tell me if it sounds familiar and/or you know something about it, thank

I was talking to an idiot and I need validation.

The two most recent comfort characters of mine have been Smoon from the fnafsb Dadcare AU by @dad-sun-and-moon and Bandana Waddle Dee from the Kirby series (of course Kirby is beloved to me as well, but I wanted to draw Bandee here).

So here's Bandee helping Smoon deal with a pest.

Ransom: *only wants to hold hand with his bestie in the hallway, cries if he cant*

Holster: *hugs his best friend so hard, they both topple over and start crying, but they’re still hugging*

as much as I love the idea of baby corinthian with 3 pacifiers I regret to inform you that he popped out the morpheussy as a 30 something year old man. he had no childhood. he came out paying taxes.

So I have a ton of panels saved of Samon, for obvious reasons.

I’m pretty indifferent to Hajime but god, this panel is my favorite of him.

It’s too funny, the smoking, the walk, kenshirou calling him a yankee. It’s all *chef’s kiss*

you know what, 8 yr old me being absolutely obsessed with the sickening relationship between faramir and denethor, then going crazy over sherlock & mycroft, only to end up here, luxuriating in the cringe of all cringe - thinking all day long about the complexities of washington's relationships with lafayette vs hamilton vs laurens - makes a lot of sense. one hint of paternal-ish angst and i salivate like a dog i guess.

Happy 1st birthday to our Everett! The Lord blessed us with such a bouncy baby boy who is always happy and smiling, he's made this first year being parents the easiest year. We pray that you continue to be the sweet boy and that you grow to do whatever the Lord has planned for you!

the other thing cats do is actually, more frequently than you would expect, kill babies. they lay on them because they're warm, but the weight of the cat prevents the baby from inhaling and causes asphyxiation.

I think love is understanding what a person is saying when they're mumbling and slurring their words
