And also rejection sensitivity, plus the common “ride alongs” like anxiety and depression.

I was just about to make a comment about anxiety. It's something I developed as an adult, which coincides with a better ability to snap out of hyperfocus. I don't know how I feel about it. On the one hand, I hate when it tries to trick me into believing something that isn't true. On the other hand, if I didn't regularly get "pings" of anxiety that make me take stock of my surroundings every so often, I'd be a lot worse at executive functioning. Pings of anxiety remind me that I have something in the oven. Pings of anxiety remind me when I'm driving that I need to pick something up at the store. Pings of anxiety remind me to water my plants.

Sometimes I want to get my anxiety treated, but I'm worried that if I do, I'd spend the whole day in la la land and never get anything done.

... or is that just my anxiety trying to trick me again?
