    I gave up on reading books because of that. Reading a few sentences at a time online is fine, but if it’s just pages and pages, I can’t do it.

      I went with audiobooks and that really helped. The other thing I did is get a kindle, then change the font to OpenDyslexic (I’m also dixlesic) and make the line spacing wide and font size big. Like that there are less words per page. So if I get distracted and zone out on a page it’s less.

        I’m not dyslexic myself but I’ll scream “OpenDyslexic is amazing” at everyone with an e-reader forevermore

        I looked into the idea behind it and I think the same ideas in its design that help dyslexics focus and not spin stuff around also helps ADHDrs “flow” through the text as well

        At least, it does for me
