2. Focus

Focus: focusing, sustaining focus and shifting focus to tasks.

Some describe their difficulty in sustaining focus as similar to trying to listen to the car radio when you drive too far away from the station and the signal begins fading in and out: you get some of it and loose some of it.

They say they are distracted easily not only by things that are going on around them, but also by thoughts in their own minds.

At other times they may find themselves stuck on one focus unable to shift to another task when they should.

In addition, focus on reading poses difficulties for many. Words are generally understood as they are red but often have to be read over and over again in order for the meaning to be fully grasped and remembered.
