I’ve seen this term used many times in this thread, but I thought it was only meant for people hyper focusing while on adderall. I feel like it’s counterintuitive to what the symptoms of adhd are. I know I’ve hyper focused on random shit like reading, or video games, but never for homework (unless it’s due the follow day). Why would I need to take meds if I can just hyper focus on doing a bunch of productive shit? And why can’t I hyper focus on doing all that productive shit? I’m really confused. Any help or response would be great. Thanks.
