I did not know about the recent studies about hyperfocus being different than flow and about adhd people experiencing flow equally or less than non adhd people. This is a great newsletter. Thanks for sharing this info I love it!!
I’ve been really curious about this. I only hyper focus when I’m writing. My husband has told me many times that he has spoken to me or tried to get my attention and I don’t respond and I have no memory of him doing this. I see this as being in the flow and it actually feels like a good thing. Obviously, if he really needed me, he could touch me or shake me and I would be able to pay attention, I don’t do the other things I don’t get irritated or bothered if I’m interrupted and I can’t really think of any other thing I do where I get hyper focused. Not sure what to make of this.
That’s awesome that you have hyperfocus experiences that feel like a good thing! Your writing is fantastic so I know your readers are benefiting too. :)
