One thing I feel in my personal experience --

while I am doing something -- inability to switch attention to someone speaking to me if they do not first ask for my attention (excuse me / hello / myname / cough / knock) before diving into speaking in sentences.

very often by the time i start paying attention to them speaking -- they are 4-5 words into their sentence and I have missed the context of what they are talking about and i have to ask them to stop and repeat from start

This has happened with me in multiple settings (work and personal life)

Not sure if this is a common thing along with APD - which i recognize some symptoms of in myself

This describes well something I've learned about myself. I just figured it was excessive focus, to the point of drowning out the outside world.

Is the excessive focus the same as hyperfocus?

Probably, yeah.
