I hate the internet over-romanticization of the "superfocus" and people believing they have a superpower
Agree with your comments. Do you know if the term hyperfocus is being used in official ADHD characteristics or is it a completely internet made up thing based only on experiences?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocus
From section about ADHD:
"These inattentive symptoms occur dually with what has been termed "hyperfocus" by the 2019 European Consensus Statement on Adult ADHD."
So I think it's officially recognised? But name of that term sucks as much as "ADHD". Both are very misleading.
Yeah it looks it is official. Then I guess we'll have to live with it and the internet hype it misleadingly creates
