I had hourly episode of smacking forehead into the desk when listening to any kind of lecture 10 minutes into it, and blamed for being sloppy, as far back as I can remember. I was very focused, but was in a constant cycle of burst and brownout. So, just maybe, I think, "attention deficit" issue could rather be called "focus rationing" issue.
Spare me the snotty tone. I was asking a question in good faith and still am. Read what I wrote: I know what hyperfocus is and I chose the verb I chose deliberately.
Besides that, if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism
