Some research has proposed that people with ADHD have faster internal clocks than those not affected. For example an ADHD child might be likely to estimate that five minutes have elapsed when only four minutes has actually elapsed and further this individual would be more likely to maintain that she had waited ten minutes when, in actuality, only eight minutes had elapsed. So on an experiential level people with ADHD wait longer in lines, than people without ADHD. P E R W I L D A U I am a Danish psychologist.

Yes.....your theory acknowledges inability to realistically estimate passage of time.... No----because you are suggesting it's on account of a faster internal clock..... implying their unrealistic estimates would all fall one way... I'm 100% certain while hyperfocusing on a task, a person with ADHD may lose ALL track of time---and, may underestimate passage of time BIG TIME.

Actually, to put it in science fiction terms, it's kinda like entering a worm hole and not knowing how far you've jumped when you come out the other end. Did you go only a couple miles, or did you go a couple light years? You don't know until you re-orient yourself. Kitten

	A crucial area of the brain is the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe, located nearest the forehead, is the where the brain weighs alternatives before deciding on a course of action. It is also important for maintaining attention. Another important area, (the striatum) plays a key role in translating impulses into an action. These areas of the brain (and many others) are connected through a complex network of neurons. Neurons communicate with each other by giving off tiny amounts of certain chemicals called neurotransmitters into the spaces between the neurons (the synapses). ADHD has been connected with abnormal levels of two neurotransmitters--dopamine and norepinephrine--that play a major role in this network. There is a lot of evidence that links ADHD to problems in the norepinephrine and dopamine neurons that connect the frontal lobe and the striatum. Not surprisingly, the medications most commonly used to treat ADHD have their main effect on the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the synapses of the brain. DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT YOUR BRAIN IS DIFFERENT THAN 65% OF THE POPULATION.
