Leilani it’s like you were in my brain recently! I am gifted, not ADHD and still struggle with hyperfocus. I tend to hyperfocus on art. I have been researching trying to find helpful information and you definitely gave me a few ideas of things I look further into. The timer thing was the first thing on my list to try!

Thanks, we have been having issues with hyper focus near bedtime and it is a hard battle. I definitely need to work on hard limits and a set schedule.

Can you please make a video about homeschooling high school ( Florida). Your son is two years ahead of mine but I am already planning big picture, dual enrollment, ACT prep, drivers Ed etc.

I don’t have ADHD but I definitely hyper focus on certain tasks especially if there is a deadline. On the other hand my husband has ADHD & sometimes he can get stuck on having to do something & can’t move onto another task unless that gets done. Is that considered hyper focussing?
