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.

Trick is to point the attention in the right direction. I have one 'expert at minecraft and cambridge english' child now.
(on the other hand, being his mum I'm not totally ready yet for him pointing that focus at, lets say, gravity in space).
