  Is it an actual ADD symptom? I do this all the time.

    Yes, but many things are symptoms of ADHD, but no single symptom alone is a sign of ADHD.

    Yeap, one of the BIG ones according to multiple doctors I’ve seen

    Either that or dyslexia can apparently cause this too, according to my dyslexic friend in HS

      I actually thought I had dyslexia for a while because of this, plus if I don’t read correctly (which for me requires memorising each word in a sentence, then interpreting it as a sentence, as opposed to reading each word and interpreting it by itself), I get the order of words mixed up

      I think I do have some low-grade dislexia, but not enough for it to cause any significant issues. Just occasionally, especially if I’m tired, I’ll read things completely out of order.

    It was for me, I’m not sure if it’s universal. Consider talking to a professional if you’re concerned about it.

      I’m already middle-aged, so changing the way my mind works at this point would probably cause more harm than good. I’ve already figured out how to live productively with the unique workings of my psyche. Thank you though!

        My wife was diagnosed at 42, it’s changed her life for the better. She is still the same person, adhd quirks and all, boy she has a better understanding of her behavior, and more control.

    Yep. It was actually one of my diagnostic questions.

  I could do this, reading out loud even. And not know what the fuck I just read for the last 10 minutes.

  And yes, I have ADHD.

  Is this an indicator or straight up ADHD specific? Because this is me constantly

  If it happens all the time I would say so. This happens to me when I’m tired so I just figured it’s my brain lagging
