Trivia Question of the Week

Congratulations to

Cindi Maurice, Patsy Ray, Bridgette Bauman, Mariola Cekaj, Jocelynn Cooper, Jenifer Lau, Karen Frantz-Fry, Siti Ahmad, Katrina Snider, Cynthia Turcotte, Tracey Christilles, Laura Keathley, Titus Jeffrey, Ellen Kay, Lauro Esquilona III, Suzanne Knight, Rebekah Budziszews, Bonnie Baldwin, Catherine Cardenas, and Autumn Matthews who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:


Some students have difficulty in accurately perceiving the passage of time, often leading to challenges in estimating how long tasks will take, sticking to schedules, and recognizing when to start or finish activities. These students lose track of time and are often not able to gauge how much time has passed. Students with this phenomenon are frequently associated with conditions like ADHD but it can also occur in other individuals with neurodiversity or specific neurological conditions. It is not a sign of laziness, self-centeredness, or lack of motivation. Often, people who experience this phenomenon want to complete tasks and arrive at appointments on time. What is the name of this term that describes difficulty sensing how much time has passed and estimating how much time is necessary to complete a task?


Answer: TIME BLINDNESS

This Week's Trivia Question: 


In an interview with The Wall Street Journal published on Friday, Jan. 24, ahead of the Feb. 4 release of his debut memoir, Source Code, Microsoft founder Bill Gates reflected on some of his childhood traits. He said the fact some people process information differently was not understood when he was a child. Gates stated that he knew he was wired differently than his peers, even if there weren't words to describe it. According to Gates, he believes he would be diagnosed with a specific disorder if he were a kid today. What is the disorder that Bill Gates believes he would be diagnosed with if he were a kid today?
