'You know that song 'Time is on my side'? I’d bet you a million bucks the writer didn’t have ADHD.'

People with ADHD practically invented the concept of needing extra time; from the day of our diagnosis, we know we are destined to forever be at odds with time. Think about it: The longest-acting CNS stimulant medication is said to last 12 hours; but many people, from attorneys to high-school students, work far more hours a day than that — often well into the night. And even so-called, who only work in a professional sense eight hours a day, are born with the ability to concentrate and be at least slightly productive the moment they get out of bed in the morning and only resting their brains after they get back in at night. It’s not like that for us ADHD people. The simple fact is that it’s impossible to have an average life ifI used to apologize anytime I was even the slightest bit tardy to an appointment or late on an assignment. Now, I’m trying something new. As I near my 28th birthday, I remind myself that life is short; the time in which we actively live, even more so; and for people like me, with only 12 hours of each day at our disposal, time is the most fleeting — and the most precious — thing of all.
