I know how to read... but only half way. When it comes to most textbooks, when I get done with the page I realize I didn't take in a single word. The only thing that seems to help is reading out loud (anyone else like that?).
The problem with that is nowhere to read. If I'm laying down on my stomach, I have to rest my head with my arms which makes it hard to read out loud. reading on my bed makes it a lot easier but I get tired after about 15 minutes and feel like I HAVE to sleep.
Another problem is the glare on the pages. For w/e reason this distracts the hell out of me. If the light is too bright, The pages have glare on them so it helps to read early in the morning or later in afternoon where it's more dim.
I've never been diagnosed with A.D.D but I may have it...maybe? I've read/heard a lot about A.D.D being 100% mental and just being a the persons personality/lack of discipline to concentrate. 9/10 times I sit down to read... I can't concentrate and have to read each page 2-4 times before I understand what the hell I'm reading....YET... I can read large stories on screen without being distracted/ having problems comprehending the text. wtf? I can also play games or w/e without being distracted. Apparently my "A.D.D" has a mind of its own.
Does anyone have my problem? Any suggestions to help concentrate? I'm just really getting stressed the **** out trying to read this A+ book. I'm really having problems learning from a text book...
