Comment on Some people are really good at concentrating their attention. (when writing software, playing games, reading etc). It's a superpower. What are other attention superpowers?

Dude, just read what you wrote again, slowly. Telling people with an illness that maybe they just lack commitment is a very shitty behaviour.

There’s no rest of the story, most people agree that it’s a huge disadvantage in life. And most importantly, it’s their story, not yours, so don’t pretend like you have the right to tell others what their life is like.

And yet it’s true about all the advantages that I listed. You seem to want to avoid that particular very important elephant. Hmm.

Are you hyperfocusing on the negative?

  All of your points only have any validity if you could control what you actually hyperfocus on, which you cannot. It’s not something that you get to pick and choose what to use it on or turn it on and off at will.
  
  You really don’t understand what hyperfocus is from your remarks.

    You clearly fail to sympathize with the suffering of “normies”. Bound in a web of illusion. Never seeing clearly. I am shocked and appalled. :)
    
    Also, some can control it. The power of hyperfocus is not exclusive to ADHD. Consider the autist, the sperg, the concentration meditation enthusiast.
    
    The world is large and you are small. Think on that the next time you feel tempted to wallow in outrage.

    Stop fetishizing illnesses. It’s not healthy.
