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

      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 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.

            Right on. I’ll think about it.

              we know we’re hardwired by a life of struggles and workarounds but our brains have more plasticity than we give ourselves credit for

      Yep. It was actually one of my diagnostic questions.
