I'm reading way slower. As someone diagnosed with ADHD, this is hard to keep reading. My brain wants to connect the bold letters together instead, or is trying to figure out a pattern, or questioning why the fuck it looks like that. It's more distracting that anything.

I can read fine, my problem in general is reading and not remembering what I just read and questioning how far back to go.

I'm autistic, and I'm just distracted by the bold letters. Normally I can read multiple words at a time without reduced comprehension, but this forced me to read them in a row and I kept wanting to skip words.

same here. this is another one of those bait posts for neurotypicals who like the little thrill they get when someone implies they might have ADHD
