Couldn't agree more.
The hyperfocus is teh awesome. I love it. In psych theory they call this a state of "flow" where you're totally into your task. This is basically how I get most of my work done - and it gets totally amped up by hypomania. I think that's how I managed to get through 4 years of graduate coursework (2 for the MS, 2 for the PhD).

Unfortunately I have only seen this part of ADHD mentioned in passing. I'd love to know more about it too.
