Speaker 1 (00:00):
They actually started yelling at me and saying that accommodations
for time blindness doesn't exist, and if you struggled being
on time, you'll never be able to get a job.
And what is that time blindness? That's a term I
don't think i've heard before.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, that's a youngster is a twenty something explaining that
she and others suffer from time blindness, that's the utter
inability to be on time, and that businesses jobs that
discipline them or punish them for that are ignoring their disability.

just made up by that one young person?

to catch on to discuss. Wow, yeah, I have competence blindness.

at work. But that's a disability. So you can't fire me,

I belittle people sometimes I assault them. You need to
make allowances.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
