I don't think it's ever too late to get help. Medication can really help. I totally feel you on the whole reading thing. Reading can be the bane of my existence. If I like the book, I can hyperfocus and read the entire thing in one sitting (e.g. I read the entire Twilight Saga- 5 novels- in one weekend). But if its school work, geez! Medication can really help you grit your teeth and just read the thing and actually understand it.
