Can you always pick what you are getting yourself in the zone about? Like can you get really into doing the most pressing, urgent and important task of your day, and then move on to other urgent, important tasks? Can you spend extended time on organizational tasks?

I (ADHD) can be extremely interested in a subject and really committed to learning and growing, as long as it isn't what I should be doing in order to like get my bills paid or maintain a calendar. As a result I'm really well read, I can play multiple instruments, I can code, draw and paint, pretty good at math; but I was behind for much of my life and not like professionally successful because I could focus on just about anything else other than like paying bills or going to bed at a reasonable time. All this other shit compounded and I used to constantly screw myself over in like 50 different ways before I started to get treatment. But I also have a lot in common with certain HF autistic people and feel validated by the fact that they are interested in things. There's some overlap between autism and ADHD, depending on how the symptoms of the autistic individual are clustered.
