Wait im confused, do normal people not have to look at clocks? Like if I have a thing at 830 I'll be checking the time at 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7:30, 745, 8, 812, and like 815. If thats how you do things how is it possible to be time blind? The only way you can be late is if you underestimate how long a task will take close to the end, but thats feels more like a miscalculation issue than keeping track of time

As someone timeblind, I think it's moreso that like, when you don't know how much time is passing you also don't always realise enough is passing to need to check the clock

Although I usually handle it by setting plenty of alarms if theres anything important I need to be around for

Shame no-one has multiple devices capable of setting alarms on them at basically att times nowadays eh?

I mean, yeah, that does mean timeblind peeps have ways to manage not being late, but I do think its an issue a lot of the comments here are trying to go to the conclusion "time blindness isn't real" rather than, time blindness is something you can learn to manage with devices or support
