Before there was a name for it, I've had attention deficit disorder - going back to childhood.
It's been a mild case, no hyperactivity, just challenges with focusing/concentration, etc. It never hampered my life, it was just something to deal with.
Now as an adult, it is manifesting in something new - difficulty with book reading. This is interesting. I can read articles without any issues although I do tend to scroll - my comprehension level is usually sufficient to high.
I went to a specialist - no issues found. He tells me this challenge with staying focused long enough to read a book or other activities requiring concentration is showing up more and more in adults - now that more information is gleaned from tech devices -something to do with the barrage of data and sound bites.
He offered to write a script, I decided against filling it. I want to see if I can work on it through techniques or maybe supplements like amino acids or whatever (still researching).
So far now, I am reading a chapter or two, putting the book down, then coming back to it later. I tend to read non-fiction, informational type books.
If anyone else has this issue, would love to know what works for you. Peace.
