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?
Yeah my hyperfocus is just “focus on all the bad things and get nothing done. Enjoy the panic attack”
That ain’t no super power to me. Maybe once a month I get the actual beneficial form of it and it’s generally wasted on something like a video game or other menial task.
I hate the internet over-romanticization of the “superfocus” and people believing they have a superpower

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
