    It really surprised me when I first read about it. The stereotype of ADHD is so far removed from the reality for many. Kids who do well academically don’t get diagnosed and end up struggling because the hyperfocus element of ADHD isn’t common knowledge.

    Or, perhaps, hyperfocus on socially desirable activities isn’t recognised as being problematic even if it’s causing the individual with ADHD no end of trouble.
