I know this is a common experience with ADHD, but somehow I'm the opposite. Visual media makes me hyper focus. As a kid, I was usually the only one still awake at the end of a late night movie. If there's a tv on and someone is trying to talk to me, it takes a lot of effort to focus on what's being said to me. I can't put things on in the background unless it's just music. Does anyone else experience this?

I don't to my knowledge have ADHD but if there's a movie on it's hard for me to completely ignore it. I memorably had to switch seats at a restaurant once with my partner at the time because I could see some shitty movie playing behind them and it was too distracting

I'm easily mesmerized by televisions and have been my entire life!
