Time and autisim

Do you ver find if there's nothing to do time moves slow and it hurts your brain but if you enjoy something and take the time to enjoy each moment mindfully it slows time down in a fun way where you feel like an hour is a day a day like a week ect 

I have tried explaining this to people before everytime its oh yeah time goes slow if you clock watch... I'm not clock watching though I see the clock as I pass that's not clock watching 

Or they say oh no time flies when your having fun 

And people always describe mindfulness more like taking note of the taste of food never do they seem to mention helping time not fly away  if that makes sense 

The fun one is great but the boredom one I could do without

  • My whole relationship with "time" in general, is super-weird.  I don't appear to "experience" "time" like "normal" people, whether ND or NT.  This feature of my life experience is NOT helpful, nor useful......it is merely a fact that confounds my understanding and keeps me "otherly." 

  • Same. I don't feel time go slow, go fast, or medium-paced. I just keep chugging on the imaginary train of existence and time. Time can only move forwards, and remains constant. Any feelings of speed is up to perception and perspective. Time is a sad thing. It makes human goals feel real, but it ends many great things.

  • This is the thing really time going fast can be not looking at the clock as much bit for me it's that I can either get fed up so i perceive more time existing as it were or the same thing but because I can absorb a fun activity as if it were new so it's like my brain is processing everything and taking it all in what sucks though is thos on occasion can lead to overload
