Thank you for all the claps.

Since I got such a generous response, I thought I would take the initiative and directly share both informal theories. Here they are with the matching tweets:

Autistic Chronophobia Theory:

Have you ever felt worried that you were falling behind your peers as time seemed to pass you by? Have you experienced a sense of running out of time with where you are in life? Do you experience heightened levels of depression or stress around New Years’ or your birthday?

If you are autistic and/or have ADHD, these could be signs that something crucial to your life is missing: your socioeconomic integration. Without integrating into society in ways that meet your autistic or ADHD mental health needs, you will experience increased stress as time progresses. One way this may happen is through a fear of time.

Monotropism Employment Theory:

Have you ever been persistently indecisive about what employment to pursue? When you are pressed about what to choose, have you felt empty or panicked? If you are working, do you feel an unshakeable detachment from the job choice you made? Is this strain difficult to tolerate?

These could be signs that something crucial to your life is not being properly accommodated: monotropic employment interests. Without being connected to your skilled interests, you may experience disruptive short-term and, eventually, serious long-term complications.
