The way my brother in law describes his ADHD does not include terms like laser focused.

Trust me if its ADHD you will get hyper focused on something you are doing and ignore everything. Things like eating, drinking and going to toilet. I also go to the store and get what I need and GTFO.

Think more along the lines of "Extreme focus on something wildly unrelated to what you are supposed to be doing that is incredibly critical right now.

I think it's a coping mechanism: be laser-focused on The Thing You Want To Do, because you'll never do it otherwise

It's not always a lack of focus, but a difficulty in directing your focus.

(Though not all ADHD is the same)
