I imagine it like this (good idea coz also autist): Normal people have more or less steady levels of concentration, focus, etc. ADHD people have it a lot different:
but I also think, that in the end the total activity expense has to be equal of a normal people so it's all about compromises: think less for 5 days, then brainstorm for 3-6 hours 1 day and achieve concentration and capability levels that normal people can only dream of.
the problem is knowing which mode is when, and if it's possible to influence them? for example today I got my super high activity mode triggered by A LOT of sugar. Right now I'm doing tasks that required my mind to "JUMP" high, and for a long time far away. I'm doing it.
