I have no issues reading in general but I still have this experience. Like I read the entire goblet of fire in one sitting without sleeping or eating (my mom still talks about how much this freaked her out to this day) but simultaneously I have this issue all the time now as an adult when reading technical white papers for my job. Halfway in I suddenly realize I didn’t actually read the last several paragraphs.

When I actually check comprehension after hyperfocusing on reading, I’ll realize I’ve picked up mostly vibes. That said, I’m pretty good at putting the pieces together, so for something simple or whose details aren’t vital, it doesn’t really matter. Technical or precise writing is different.
