My ADHD makes it so I can't read books for shit anymore, even though I would go through several every week as a kid. For anyone else having this problem, one thing that sometimes helps me is to listen to someone read the text while reading along. This could be an audiobook, but there's also an extension for Firefox called "Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader" to get through pdf files.

As someone with both, it's either feast or famine, depending on how interesting my brain finds it.
I read nearly cover to cover the National Electric Code because I wanted to rewire my house and I found the standards fascinating.
I could not read through my AWS training materials because AWS is boring AF.

Pale is absolutely amazing, and excellently horrifying use of The Fae as a concept.

Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though...
I wouldn't know how/where to evem start if it wasn't for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me... I basically:
- watch the whoöe topic once
- do all the comptia practice questions
- identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
- watch those (and more) videos again
- rinse & repeat until the last week
- switch to practice exams for the last week
- hope for the best
I'll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though...
For Security+ I actually liked the Gibson book more. Felt like it sat down with you to explain the relevant content while not using confusing or verbose language (e.g. Dion training videos).

Funny that you mention it, I was reading that book mere minutes ago! Always loved the movie as a kid and only recently got myself the first book. The style is so... odd, wacky, absurd, hilarious, that I just gotta keep reading
wrote last edited by [email protected]Highly recommend checking out the original BBC radioplays. I wanted to work in the now defunct Radiophonic Workshop so bad as a kid because of them and their LotR. HGttG is my favorite case study in adaptation cause there are like 5 different tellings of the story across 4 different media all primarily written by the same author and they all have their fun quirks and idiosyncrasies.

If you want a wild ride, read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Not only will you reread the same sentence for over 40 minutes, it’ll never make a lick of sense. Ever.

It was the National Electric Code.
The national electric fucking code.
this is autism in full effect.
- Someone who is reading "Excuse me, sir, would. you like to buy a kilo of isopropyl bromide?", the biography of a man who started a chemical company. I know, thrilling.

Cannot stress this method enough especially for information heavy books. Listening while reading along can be slow but I understand and remember the information so much better

...Au as in Gold?
AuDHD = AU-tism + ADHD

Wow, I never realised Pale was that long. That's four Pacts, one for each girl and another for interludes.

the misery of searching for stories that catch your interest, finding a rare nugget of gold, reading the entire fucking 400 chapters in a few days, and being unceremoniously dumped back into reality and faced with the ocean of absolute dogshit that people somehow find amazing.

For many of us, it's a living thing. We suffer from a lot of confusion, but sometimes we seem to have a strange magic that makes others wonder how we did something.

I love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I read it through as a teenager without an issue. Then as an adult, I "re-read" it again through audiobooks.
I've been trying to read the book itself again, but I keep losing track and thinking back to the audiobook, surprised at how easily I followed the story when I heard it read out loud. I may have to try using the audiobook while reading along this time. Thanks for the tip!

Lmao, I literally just commented about the same book moments before scrolling down to see your comment. I love its absurdity, but having an audiobook read it aloud makes it so much easier to digest.

wrote last edited by [email protected]When I discovered this book as a teen (on recommendation from another friend on the spectrum), we were all certain Douglas Adams must be One of Us. It's so off the wall and creative, full of observations of odd human behavior much like the observations that those of us on the spectrum tend to make. It's like you can feel how he's been "on the outside, looking in" the same way many of us have felt throughout our lives.
Not that any of us can claim Douglas Adams was on the spectrum for certain, but his relatable perspective certainly shined through in his writing.
