I’ve taken those surveys where they ask you things like, “do you need to read a paragraph several times…?”, but I’ve never actually tested it out to gauge my reading speed. Yesterday, we figured out it was ~130 words per min (average non-dyslexic is 200-250), but we wanted to test it further.

Maybe I can let you know what we did and you and others can test it out for yourselves to see if it works/helps

For me, if what I'm reading is boring - I might as well be dyslexic. I don't read it properly. I misinterpret what is said. The whole thing ends up a mess.

If I’m uninterested in the topic, there’s just no way I’m reading it… I never understood how people can just do things even if they hate it.
