If I could have any superpower it would be perfect control of attention.
It takes a lot of effort to consistently focus the laser beam, and doubly so when there’s too much context switching!

One thing about being on the spectrum is that focus is relatively easier. I've always kind of felt like extreme focus was my one true skill.

Ability to pay attention at the stretch is a great virtue. Many successful people like Andrew Carnegie could focus at stretch up to 5 minutes.
In modern world people can stretch their attention only at average 7-8 seconds.
