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?

  No, but I know how lucky I have it. There are many people with my condition that can never even live an independent life. That cannot deal with even moderate noise. That literally cannot focus. People with ASD, ADD and ADHD are not all Sheldon Coopers.

  So I say again: fuck off with that bullshit.

      I think you've got the right idea on this one (and yes, they very much were making hyperfocus sound like a fucking X-Men power, only to ask if I craved powerlessness when I challenged that notion)
