I have wandering eyes is one thing I have I only found out a few months ago. I don't know the technical term for it. I was watching a youtube video and they said some people thought they had add when in fact they weren't paying attention because of their eye condition.

I have good vision like reading all the letters that the optometrist says but no one ever bothered to check if my eyes wander.

I may have had this for a while to becaues I've never read a novel or book in my life. Id read a few pages and get tired.

Maybe that's why i preferred maths subjects to some degree.

You should not self diagnose yourself, especially with a youtube video. Go to a doctor if you think you have a medical condition.
