At least one study found no relationship between hyperfocus and ADHD. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089142222...

For reference:

Highlights

• We could not demonstrate a higher frequency of hyperfocus in adults with ADHD relative to healthy controls.

• Hyperfocus is experienced both by healthy and ADHD adults although it correlates positively with ADHD traits.

• Age and educational level are important determinants of hyperfocus.

• Motivational, situational and clinical aspects of hyperfocus need to be taken into account in future studies.
