Why am I unable to comprehend or remember pages that I have just read? If I'm quizzed on the details or even the general ideas of what I just read, I'm unable to answer correctly. I don't know why it's taken me this long to discover this. It's probably because all reading comprehension tests I've taken at a high school level and lower have all had the reading material present when answering the questions about the material, so I could just scan the material for the answer to each question. I need to figure out what's wrong with me before I consider college, because this seems like a major impairment.
If I'm, for example, reading up on a programming problem, I'm able to comprehend what I'm reading, although very slowly, because I already have some context and understanding of the basic ideas behind what I'm reading. But, if I'm reading completely new material (right now I'm trying to read "A Mind For Numbers" by Barbara Oakley), it flies right over my head. I can read a page and then ask myself what I just read, and I have no idea.
Does this sound familiar to anybody here and if so have you been diagnosed with something?
