Mmm. My problem is that it takes me 20 minutes to do something, but it feels as though only 5 minutes has gone by.

Interesting but doesnt apply to me … this maybe because I am very aware of routine which I share with my husband. The day and week is very much divided into sections. I do sometimes feel panic that I have completely overlooked an event.

Of course ask your specialist. Except that he seems to know even less.
The reference to more information being needed often appears in wikipedia. It’s a technical thing meaning that the article doesn’t meet their requirements. I doubt it means that it’s necessarily wrong.
