Of all the things living for years with undiagnosed ADHD robbed me of, the ability to read for long periods of time is one I miss the most. I'm slowly relearning this skill, but do other ADHDers have advice on this?
(If you don't have ADHD do not offer advice please)

I've had some success with reading only at night, when I'm tired enough that the chaos in my brain has subsided a bit. But this unfortunately limits the amount I can think critically about my readings.

Also helpful has been reminding myself that just because my brain works differently doesn't mean it works *wrong*. Learning to be patient with myself rather than frustrated with myself has been huge.

Taking processing breaks when I reach a stopping point (even a new paragraph, etc) has been super helpful as well and has helped me retain information much better rather than simply trying to force it.
