Is it normal to start reading a book but then suddenly realize that you have no idea what's going on in the plot because you have been reading the words but ignoring their meaning? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

no, but it's definitely very common for neurodivergent peeps

I used to be able to entirely loose myself in reading for hours, whether the book interested me or not, because I was just passionate about reading. Nowadays my ADHD (and partially my anxiety) has become so bad that I can barely get through one page while seriously paying attention.
