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.

Genuine question here.
Does that come at the cost of losing "peripheral vision" so to speak, ie; you lose sight of the bigger picture, or context?
Thanks for the reply.
I know someone with ADHD & they have similar issues if they over medicate, super laser focused!
