My reading ideas are to lower the over-load factor. It is some of the things I have done to allow me to read without becoming over-stimulated.

If I try to read overly descriptive writing, my brain gets overloaded with all the details, not from a comprehension level but instead from a simple overload. I will quickly get very tired and need to stop. Sometimes, I will catch myself rereading lines without any reason but that my brain has overloaded and checked out.

Maybe my reading struggles are entirely different than yours. We stopped taking the newspaper because my wife could tell that I was becoming mentally tired from reading it. For me, it is more like my brain just 'checks out' leaving me in zombie land. I would need to take a nap so my brain could recharge.

I wish I could help you more.

My best to you.
