I MADE THE OBSERVATION THAT 85 PERCENT OF MY ADHD PATIENTS DO NOT WEAR OR OWN A WATCH. MORE THAN HALF OF THOSE WHO WORE A WATCH DID NOT USE IT BUT WORE IT AS JEWELRY OR TO NOT HURT THE FEELINGS OF THE PERSON WHO GAVE IT TO THEM. FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH ADHD, TIME IS A MEANINGLESS ABSTRACTION. IT SEEMS IMPORTANT TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT PEOPLE WITH ADHD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THE HANG OF IT. ~ WILLIAM DODSON, M.D., LF-APA
