Episode 4
Tuesday, 19 May, 2026

Does time feel like your enemy? In Episode 4, we explore why neurodivergent individuals experience time so differently - from time blindness and hyperfocus to punctuality, executive functioning, and the shame of never quite keeping up.We cover: time slippage vs time management, why the language matters, time blindness and the neurodivergent brain, hyperfocus and losing track of time completely, the shame around needing support with something "everyone else can do", practical strategies including the Pomodoro technique, contingency planning and setting alarms, how COVID changed workplace expectations, and how unstructured time can become a genuine neurodivergent strength.👤 Guest: Emma Lord-Jenkins Founder of Rethink Inclusion - neurodiversity consultancy and training informed by lived and professional experience. As a late-diagnosed ADHDer, Emma is passionate about creating inclusive workplaces and removing barriers for neurodivergent people.This episode is for neurodivergent individuals who've struggled with time and punctuality, and for employers, educators, and HR professionals wanting to better understand and support neurodivergent people.📌 Brought to you by Dyscourse — empowering neurodivergent individuals and organisations. https://dyscourse.orgWatch, Listen & ConnectWatch & Subscribe on YouTube: @TheNeurodivergentLensPodcastWebsite: https://dyscourse.org/podcastApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4wVeWmSSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Vzy9a6fLbo3YnmNUuiM43Download our free PDF guide on Myths & Misconceptions: https://dyscourse.org/ (above footer)Follow:Instagram: @the.neurodivergent.lensLinkedIn: DyscourseFacebook: TheNeurodivergentLensDisclaimer:This content is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for professional support.
