I'm offended by the attention deficit and the disorder part. I don't have a deficit, I have an abundance of attention, it's just not linear. I have parallel attention, not serial. In my close circle I'm the guy people often go for answers, because I often have them, albeit often somewhat superficial, because it's near impossible to go deep in any subject, unless hyperfocus kicks in.

In ways you're not even aware of, but yes. 🖖🏼

I have more attention than most, but I just can't put it all in the same basket! (Unless hyperfocus...)
