I used to be able to entirely loose myself in reading for hours, whether the book interested me or not, because I was just passionate about reading. Nowadays my ADHD (and partially my anxiety) has become so bad that I can barely get through one page while seriously paying attention.
Fiction has always been my preference: I started reading to find my own world to take refuge in, when I was young, and fantasy, specifically, really fulfilled that need. Escapism is the main reason I still read books.
I never really got into historical biographies, however I do love a good philosophy or neurolinguistics book if I am in the mood to learn something new.

Heavy liminal vibes
no, but it's definitely very common for neurodivergent peeps
