Thanks for bumping. I have severe (diagnosed at age 31) ADHD and only made it through my undergraduate degree by literally rewriting my textbooks. Needless to say I went through several hundred notebooks (rewriting helped slow my reading and improved my retention) but I knew I couldn't continue on to a graduate level with this way of learning. I shut the notebooks and stopped studying (which never worked anyway) and graduated with a 3.9gpa. I applied the same practice in graduate work and also achieved a 3.9gpa. I not so proudly tell people that i've honestly never read a book, because I can't. I can read just fine and oddly enough, i'm a writer. I can't read however and "see" the picture that I understand other people form when they read a good book. Movies are my godsend and without them, i'd never have anything visual to go with a story. I can read an entire novel and never see the picture, never follow the story and couldn't tell you what it's about. Oh, I also lose my car regularly in parking lots,lol.
