I was wondering what the differences are. I have always had some trouble with reading. i thought it was due to having a short attention span, but I have been on medication for years and I still have trouble. I read an article that said that LDs and ADHD often go hand in hand. I was wondering how to differentiate the two. My issue with reading isn't so much sticking on task but retaining the information and being able to make connections in order to answer questions or write an essay (for school).
