Is it normal to be unable to read?

I used to read so much, all the time, and I have A* in English, but when I turned 17 I was diagnosed with ADHD and I slowly became unable to concentrate on reading. Now I don't read at all, and I have to use my finger on the page to focus myself on the words and I still struggle to remember the sentence I literally just read. Getting through a chapter is impossible, never mind a whole book...is this normal? I'm 18 by the way. And, like I say, I never used to have any issues with reading until my ADHD developed.

    My symptoms of ADHD were masked by my severe anxiety and my autistic traits and that's why it took so long to get a diagnosis. I've had symptoms all of my life but they were perceived to be something else until a psychiatrist realised that my illness had been hidden by my other conditions

    I think you have ALS or some incurable disease. You should just go and become a recluse in some cave somewhere and just wait it out.
