My Question to the AI ==> True or False : ADHD are not capable of concentrating on different types of contents.
AI Answered ==> False. Individuals with ADHD are capable of concentrating on different types of contents. ADHD is divided into three main types: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combination type. Each type of ADHD is tied to one or more characteristics, and the symptoms can vary from person to person. While one of the common symptoms of ADHD is inattention and difficulty sustaining focus, some people with ADHD experience a phenomenon called hyperfocus, which is an intense state of concentration experienced by some individuals with ADHD. This means that they may have difficulty controlling where they focus, but they can also become completely immersed in an activity, demonstrating the capability to concentrate intensely on specific tasks or subjects[1][3][4].

Yes it is true, I can hiperfocus when I am trying to solve a tatical problem, trying to win a rook endgame when the engine says it is winning, when I am playing or analysing, but for some reason I can not concretate properly when I am reading a chess book.

Yes. Books are just 1 way of passing information. There are several ways to pass information, The most common nowadays, and the most comfortable is just watching a video.

The only chessbook I have ever opened Is a newbie book that I got when I wasnt a newbie anymore (Still play like one, but Im not a newbie), just for the sake of having a chess book. Didnt got too far though, just a few pages.

I have, on the other hand, spent a lot of time watching a lot of videos.
Others can get a coach in site, or virtually.

So, yes.
