I have a friend with ADHD (as it is politically called now), and I know first hand that he cannot pay attention to one thing for more than 5-10 mins, no matter how interesting it is to him. I admit that the people who are claiming they can't read are just being lazy though. It is unfortunate that they have this disorder, but they can learn to budget their time wisely and get their work done differently than others would. At least that's what my friend does. He reads for about 10 mins, then watches some TV, while taking notes on what he just read. Then he reads the book some more and repeats. It takes him much longer to read a book, but he gets it done.
