You can build up literacy like a muscle. I can read a lot if I forget to take my ADHD worsener (valproic acid), but even with that I can sometimes "rawdog" it.

This, I used to read a lot, even with my ADHD.

But for some reason I stopped, and now I struggle to focus reading.

Brains gravitate to the quickest easiest dopamine responses, and will ignore things that give rewards slower. ADHD brains are particularly bad for this.

I have the exact same issue. If I was able to give up scrolling social media, I'm sure I'd be back on the books again inside of a few weeks. We'll just have to wait for the great collapse.

I listen to audio books more often than reading an actual book.

When I used to have a 60 minute commute to work (train to a short walk to a metro to another short walk) I would down audio books like a fiend on the train. I have a neurodevelopmental disorder that makes it difficult to maintain concentration and when the narrator does distinct voices or music for different characters/scenes/etc. it's easier for me to follow than books.
