Anyone else here have an ADHD spouse who is suddenly hyper-focused on COVID-19 above all else?
I guess I should be glad he's no longer focused on micro-plastics (the latest hyper-focus obsession after climate-change) since everything is now bagged up in plastic.
I wish I knew how to redirect all this energy into something positive!

My Fiance is not
My Fiance is not hyperfocusing due to Covid19. We do not live together, and he is able to work from home, which is a relief to him, due to heart issues.
Hyperfocus or OCD?
This sounds like it might be an OCD issue rather than a ADHD issue. The two can be comorbid.
