  • ADHD is a problem with executive function - controlling focus.

    So some folks with ADHD swing from not being able to focus on one thing at all to only focus on one thing to the exclusion of all else.

    When we were about 12, a friend of mine would get so into reading a book he wouldn’t hear his parents calling his name. It happened so much they took him for hearing tests.

    That’s how strong hyperfocus can be. (He was later diagnosed with the Inattentive type of ADHD).
