I just see what is on the paper read and everything is fine as far as that goes. But actually absorbing what I read is a whole different can of worms. It is like my brain charges a toll for absorbing the information and storing it away for later use. Most of the time the toll is to much so it does not get payed and I forget what I was reading. Anyone else experience this?
Omg Maus, you just totally explained my entire reading life. Haha... I am being tested for a LD because of it. I totally understand. I'm glad I'm not the only one! Do you think its just an ADD thing? I'm being tested for a processing disorder.
