Hasan Minhaj asks Gabor Maté: "Why am I always late?" Maté diagnoses on the spot: ADHD—specifically a lack of time maturity. At 5 minutes to 8, your brain still feels like you have "eternity." Time sense didn't fully develop early because, for highly sensitive kids, parental stress (even prenatal) interferes with brain circuits. It's not inherited disease—it's a protective "tune out" response to overwhelm that wired in young. 96-sec clip from Hasan's podcast. Mind-blowing reframing of chronic lateness + disorganization as survival adaptation. ADHD folks (or those who relate): Does the "time blindness from early stress" explanation hit home? Ever noticed how sensitivity + childhood environment shaped your focus/time sense? Share below—no judgment, just real talk.
