My hyperfocus as in on data points, ideas, and tasks is often misunderstood by neurotypicals. I will be working on a problem for 8 weeks and I'm told to just enjoy myself so I don't loose value in myself if I'm successful. I focus in on data for understanding and people tell me obsessing will drive me crazy. What they don't realize is I enjoy focusing. It brings me the same kind of joy as lining things up in a row, counting change, or stepping on a diagonal floor tile pattern. For me, doing this is play and stimming. It keeps me engaged and calm.
