    This is such an interesting topic! As you mention in your presentation, hyperfocus is often identified as a strength that people with ADHD have, although there are certainly downsides to it as well. If researchers and clinicians were able to develop strategies for inducing a hyper-focused state, do you think this would be an appropriate strategy to help people with ADHD?
