I Have a Confession

I have ADHD and it's hard for me to read long passages properly. Every time someone writes a deep and long comment, message, etc; I spend at least 30 minutes reading it over and over to understand the whole point of it coz my brain can't process well in the way it's supposed to do. Not to mention if the text is a page long, it normally takes me up to 60 minutes to really get the information it conveys.

I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you.
My uncle has ADHD and I know he had it rough growing up and even now.
I think the most difficult part for him is not having been diagnosed until adulthood.
SW-User
YES! The worst part is that you don't know what's wrong with you.

Does it matter what language? Harder in english?
SW-User
It's just as hard in Vietnamese
@Alex1610: I'm sorry "L". I have to do that on occasion. Sometimes because of the wording

It must be tougher for you as an adult

My son has this exact struggle...it is not an easy thing. It is why I get so ticked when people say stupid crap about ADHD.
SW-User
They never know how bad it is until they walk in our shoes.
SW-User
Thanks for the information, now I know.
