I'm not officially diagnosed with ADHD or anything but I do struggle to focus on a singular task, I have a sneaking suspicion that I do have something like that. Anyways, I can't read books because I just can't focus on them, same with long articles or any long block of text really. I also would recommend audio books, I've "read" tons of great books out there that I otherwise would have never touched. I also use TTS to "read" articles I find online.
I'd recommend talking to your doctor as getting an official diagnosis can open up a lot of possibilities for support if you do have it.
I was diagnosed at 29 and my biggest regret in that matter was not looking into it sooner.
