Am I overestimating just how much they will help me?

I have an assessment soon, and I am absolutely confident i have it, so if i get on ADHD meds, will they help me read books again? will they help me study? will they help me get back to work if able? How much do they help with executive dysfunction?

I feel as though I’m putting all my eggs in the ADHD meds basket.

How much do they help you?

    I go through periods where i read a fair bit (with a lot of breaks), and then other periods where i simply cannot find the motivation of focus at all to read anything. i haven’t been able to read at all in months, i think. so I’m hopeful that meds will help me to stop “hyperfocussing” on reading, and doing reading like a normal person.

    I find that ED is the worst part about reading. once i start reading, i can do it. I just struggle, with many things, to start. once i start something, i can sometimes manage to finish, but it’s the starting that stops me. I do also have ASD, so it might be that?

    but yeah, thanks for the advice :)
