Yeah but that's the point. The spectrum is way too broad. For some people that's their daily life.

For me it's either I get paralyzed and depressed for a week or two and basically can't get anything done. Or I kinda work "normal" (maybe just being a lot faster than neurotypical people, but certainly not longer). 18 hour hyperfocus sessions only occour every few months for me.

Agreed, I was mainly responding to the "trust me you don't want it"

I realize others have a differing degrees and handling of it.

Thus you can't say whether one individual "wants" it or not.
