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.

I can literally forget to eat and sleep I get so consumed and focused on my work. People have to remind me. It’s an incredibly powerful skill? I have from being on the spectrum. My brain never stops. I operate on 4-5 hours of sleep and I’m now into my 40s haha.
