Because I suppose back then we thought it was so dysfunctional that you couldn't achieve these things if you had it.

And of course, we know different now, don't we?

So you said about your school reports that you didn't do as well as you thought you did.

But then when you were studying stuff that you were interested in, Blueberry Muffins or Harry Potter, you could focus.

And that brings up the hyper focus part, which I only read about recently.
