I was gifted Harry Potter 1 on my first school day and had read it through by the next morning. Fast forward to now: I haven‘t read an actual book in 2 years, too burned out by ADHD. Fuck me I guess!
Edit: also, fuck the school system.
I don’t know if it’ll work for you, but I often can’t read for long periods anymore either. Audiobooks aren’t enough stimulation on their own, but if I find a combo that uses just enough of my brain, I can make it through quite a bit.
For me personally, I play Mario Kart on a muted TV often while listening to books.
That‘s a good method, yes. I mostly listen to podcasts discussing books, which to me is the perfect level of stimulation. Might also try to listen to and read the same book simultaneously.
