I'm not ADHD, but that particular passage using that particular font and those particular colors seemed to speed up my ability to read the text. But when Staments posted below (lemmy.zip/post/45655234/206366…) using what looks like the same methodology, it ended up being an impediment. I struggled to even get through the first sentence.

So I have to wonder if there's more to it than just randomly putting a character or few in bold at the start of each word -- like maybe it's also highly dependent on things like the font being use and making sure to use specific words and phrases that are conducive to this technique.

Reading this is like pointing an information machine gun on my brain and pulling the trigger. I read the first sentence faster and then the buffer overflows and I have to constantly stop reading or re-read stuff because the comprehension part of my brain cannot keep up. I feel like I naturally already kinda read like this, I don't read character for character but kinda skim words and know what it says. The image forces me to read in a very unnatural way because I cannot properly use the last part of the word for extra confidence in these predictions.

I love this in principle but I can’t use it myself. I‘m a very fast reader by default, basically already doing what the highlighting tries to make you do, without it needing to be there. The highlighting disrupts that for me. I end up stopping at every word and partially jumping back and forth. I do show this to people on occasion that aren’t as lucky as me with their reading speed and most said it helped them. Not all though.
