Poor attention span or impatience?

<p>After i read for at least up to 2 pages in a textbook and 5 pages in a novel, i get tired, kind of like an impatient feeling. I have been diagnosed with ADD, but lately i have been questioning it. </p>

<p>When i first dive into a book, it takes me a short while to "jumpstart" my brain and understand what's going on. Sometimes i have to go back to the beginning to fully understand what i just read. Before, i would have to do that four times, but now it's just one time. Does that sound ADD-ish?</p>

<p>If it is a patience problem, is there anyway to improve that or is impatience ingrained me since childhood and impossible to break?</p>

<p>I am interested in this question. </p>

<p>I think has something to do with impatience more than poor attention span.</p>

<p>Does anybody else think so?</p>

<p>Personally, I think that everyone has ADD to some extent. Before you go read the book, make sure you're calm, with no TV on to distract, etc. </p>

<p>Of course, I have no educational background to support this, just my experience when studying on my own.</p>
