Is that exclusively ADHD thing though?

If it happens once in a while: Normal.

If it happens literally every time you read: ADHD.

This is true of a shit ton of symptoms of ADHD and probably why it isn't treated seriously and goes undiagnosed in many people.

Adhd is not usually diagnosed for one of these symptoms. But if you have a lot of them there's a pattern of likelihood that you have it.

I'm diagnosed and one of my biggest issues with adhd is this reading issue for me. Which also gets compounded with my less than half of the usual short term memory length of around 8 and a half seconds.

No, but every meme posted can't be a universally accepted, whole view of what ADHD is.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD and I struggle to read books because of exactly this, where my partner, also diagnosed, loves reading.

I guess if every ADHD symptom is continued to be downplayed as "everyone does this," then no, it's not exclusively an ADHD thing

Ok so what I’m about to say is my own experience can’t speak for anyone else but IMO with my ADHD it’s basically a normal brain with some attributes for better or for worse are enhanced

Like yeah everyone loses focus sometimes, everyone sometimes just stops processing language, everyone gets distracted by something, everyone gets excited about a topic they like, and so on

But as one of my favorite posts said: “everyone pees, but when you pee 60 times a day you should probably see a doctor”

No, attention issues can be caused by depression, anxiety, stress, bad sleep hygiene or problems like sleep apnea, and many other things.

I don't know

[–] DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, ADHD is being trapped in your own head, screaming at yourself to fucking move while your body reads on unhindered by your plans or obligations.

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like executive dysfunction which is a big part of ADHD.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah, both are symptoms.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And thinking about the movie you'd make after each page / chapter.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god, YES

Down to the lenses I'd use and everything

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Fish eye lense?

Waughm waughm

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

I'm thinking vintage soviet lenses like from Helios and Jupiter, with a bit of Pentacon and Minolta Rokkor sprinkled in

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca -1 points 10 months ago

No, that's just being stoned.
