Yes, for me, it is harder to absorb information by listening than reading. I know that most people with AD/HD tend to be visual learners than anything else. I actually had a test done for giftedness in grade 7, and they said my learning style was visual, and my siblings are mixed, so.

I think it might be because a lot of the time, our minds are somewhere else and when people tell us stuff, it's going through one ear and out the other. But if we read something, we can always relook at it if our minds are out of it and process the information. I know this is how I work. I think this is one of those things that aren't counted on an AD/HD diagnosis, but like the majority have this feature for them.

Note, I am not diagnosed with AD/HD. My dad was as a kid though.
