I read this while making coffee and have been thinking about it since ! Excellent. Thank you for explaining so well (and concise so I didn’t drift) I’m trying to consider translating this to my kiddos, so they can help understand this about themselves 🧐
One thing I'd add: that bit about how emotional reactivity impacts hyperfocus really resonates. I mean, it’s wild how I can dive deep into a project and totally ignore everything else, but then a text from a friend throws me off for hours. My brain's like a cat chasing a laser pointer—one minute I'm locked in, the next I’m distracted by the slightest thing. Balancing that switch is a real juggling act.

I'm so glad you read it. I think it's cool
Same! The last section especially helped me think about strategies to help them (and me!) decompress in a healthy way after school/work.
