    My ADHD makes it so I can’t read books for shit anymore, even though I would go through several every week as a kid. For anyone else having this problem, one thing that sometimes helps me is to listen to someone read the text while reading along. This could be an audiobook, but there’s also an extension for Firefox called “Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader” to get through pdf files.

      Cannot stress this method enough especially for information heavy books. Listening while reading along can be slow but I understand and remember the information so much better
