Re: Reading out loud

[Anonymous]

Interesting about instructions. If they are full of pics NO problem I can usually complete the task at hand.. if there are lots of words without pics forget it. I am a little confused about this reading, concentration and comprehension issue I apparently have (and others do as well) and what I can do to manage it. As I so eloquently explained in my previous post in this thread (LOL) I need to read out loud and cover my ears to….umm…to limit distractions (I guess/think i know I have going on between my ears) so I may attempt to comprehend what I have read. Even when reading posts here I do the same sometimes. Do ADHD medications help suppress the outside distractions I have in my brain to help manage this or do I have to continue to try to create these perfect environments of peace and quiet (not very easy or convenient to do OK nearly impossible),

Great this leads me to my next issue(s)…. I need to make 20 changes to every post I type here before sending it? Not just to catch typographical errors, after all I do have spell check but more importantly I often find the thoughts I had in my head I cannot type fast enough to get them on the screen. So when I look at my post in it’s original completion form often it does not make sense. In fact quite often the content of the text of my intended message is way off. As it should be because the way it reads without correction is even confusing to me! Here we go, I then get frustrated that my message is so OFF its mark and I have to re-type it the next message will have tones of that frustration and worse be farther of the point my first original message. Now do i just accept the 21/2 hours it took me to type this brief post as normal or can medication slow down the racing thoughts in my head!
