MODERATORS
Mine doesn't usually do that. Mostly I just lose time. But hyper focus for me is usually something very small and unlikely to involve much movement. Or maybe just the types of activities I tend to do don't involve moving around the house while on a single focus. But that's just my brand of ND probably. I don't do autopilot like that. Could also be because of the Autism blended in there.
I have to consciously initiate any real physical movement, which will always require main focus even if for a second. No habits, no muscle memory/autopilot, almost everything requires executive function, just that often other things get unconsciously ignored even when I acknowledge them verbally. A lot of verbal stuff I guess can end up autopiloted, though, or at least my brain fails to record in my memory that I heard or acknowledged it, but only simple acknowledgements like "yes/no/OK".
