One of my coworkers who's more in the hyperactive side didn't understand why I could do well on tests in school, but the thing is they're puzzles, and puzzles are fun.
Until they're not, and you realize you spent 30 minutes thinking about the HRE.
I made it work. When I'm called out, I go like: "Actually, there is a crucial aspect about point X (10 minutes ago) that we just skipped: ..." and it makes me seem thoughtful and thorough.
I gave up responding to your point. Every time: "What was it again?" Look up, didn't read your comment while reading, again, when I want to start writing, blank, repeat.
