I thought ADD prevented hyperfocus? Your attention being at quite a deficit?

ADD/ADHD is about attention regulation and executive function. I can focus on the wrong things every waking hour of the day, periodically screaming in my head what I actually need to do and not be able to switch tasks to that, what's important. If something becomes interesting, my brain can hyperfocus locked in on it literally all day. It's a super power if you can get it to work on the right things, disabling/life-ruining if not. Sucks, because I'm otherwise super fucking smart, but it's awesome because my stressed-out, last minute productivity far exceeds the quality of the general population.
