Description

Why does time blindness show up so early in life?

Welcome to another episode in our Research Recap series, co-hosted with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD.

In this episode, Skye and Will unpack a study of preschoolers in Hong Kong, showing how time perception, working memory, and delay aversion already affect early academic skills.

What we cover:

  • Why ADHD symptoms in preschoolers are hard to spot but still matter
  • Why time perception was the newest and most revealing test
  • What frustration tasks reveal about emotional regulation
  • How working memory predicts later academic success
  • How these findings could shape future ADHD support
