ADHD is, I argue, an impairment in sense of time and a matter of difference in rhythm; it can be understood as a certain being in the world, or more specifically, as a disruption in the experience of time and a state of desynchronization and arrhythmia. Through excerpts of interviews with adults diagnosed with ADHD and observations, I illustrate how impairment in time is manifested in an embodied experience of being out of sync. I suggest that the experience of ADHD is characterized as 1) an inner restlessness and bodily arrhythmia; 2) an intersubjective desynchronization between the individual and its surroundings; and 3) a feeling of lagging behind socially due to difficulties in social skills. In closing, I argue that an increasingly accelerating society is augmenting the experience of being out of sync rather than eliminating it.
我认为，注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是一种时间感知障碍，是节奏差异的问题；它可以被理解为一种特定的在世方式，或者更具体地说，是时间体验的中断以及不同步和心律不齐的状态。通过对被诊断患有ADHD的成年人的访谈摘录和观察，我说明了时间障碍是如何在一种不同步的身体体验中表现出来的。我认为，ADHD的体验具有以下特征：1）内心的不安和身体的心律不齐；2）个体与其周围环境之间的主体间不同步；3）由于社交技能困难而产生的在社交方面落后的感觉。最后，我认为，一个加速发展的社会正在加剧不同步的体验，而不是消除它。
