Being an ADD/ADHD youth worker #7: “Hyper focus”

This is an ADD characteristic where we sometimes become so focused and intense that we shut everything else out for a significant length of time. It is not that we have suddenly learned how to concentrate, the situation is that we are involved in something that ties up all 10 of our tracks.
  • Video Games are a good example. There is enough going that we become fully occupied and there is no room for distraction.
  • For me it is when I'm doing computer programming and have to simultaneously keep track of everything from global logic down the syntax of a particular command.
  • Normal stuff like studying for a math quiz doesn't do it for us.
