When you leave work for the day and your coworker says, 'See you tomorrow', and you answer, 'Yeah, probably'

I get that hyperfocus too. Sometimes it's a good thing, I think. As a fraud detection analyst it helps me pick up on patterns and details in data that others would miss. Other times it's not so helpful, as you know. There's a saying 'Can't see the forest for the trees'. That is, people focus in on t...

I've never been officially diagnosed but am pretty certain I'm on the spectrum. I didn't realize this until I was in my 40s.
