    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
