For me it’s not the fun kind of super power, like Spider-Man. It’s more like The Hulk: can’t control when it shows up, can’t control when it stops, can’t control it while I’m using it and makes me do things I normally wouldn’t (like the dishes) and it’s usually fueled by strong emotions then followed by a crash.
Someone told me today that there’s someone writing books about how people with ADHD have a secret focus superpower. I just laughed bitterly.
I think I read that one and it was dumb AF. Basically just a bunch of anecdotes about rich celebrities with ADHD having successful careers.

It’s true, but we don’t control when it activates.
Or what it activates towards. It can be a superpower but it can also be a curse
