Is that exclusively ADHD thing though?
If it happens once in a while: Normal.
If it happens literally every time you read: ADHD.
This is true of a shit ton of symptoms of ADHD and probably why it isn't treated seriously and goes undiagnosed in many people.
Adhd is not usually diagnosed for one of these symptoms. But if you have a lot of them there's a pattern of likelihood that you have it.
I'm diagnosed and one of my biggest issues with adhd is this reading issue for me. Which also gets compounded with my less than half of the usual short term memory length of around 8 and a half seconds.
I guess if every ADHD symptom is continued to be downplayed as "everyone does this," then no, it's not exclusively an ADHD thing
No, but every meme posted can't be a universally accepted, whole view of what ADHD is.

No, attention issues can be caused by depression, anxiety, stress, bad sleep hygiene or problems like sleep apnea, and many other things.
I don't know
