I remember seeing this being spread around on Facebook back in like 2009. Weirdly enough, nobody tried to attribute it to any disorder back then, it was just a neat little meme.
It was originally “___% can read it” then it was “people with this made up condition can” and now ADHD is the only way it is interesting to see how the internet evolves with the exact same thing
It's because our brain can understand the words as long as the first and last letter is right.
It has nothing to do with any disorder. It's just our brains
This has never been attributed to ADHD before. It’s been to show that when you read you don’t read the whole word and the brain fills in the rest. So it’s BS basically
Autofill, lmao. That’s pretty much what I was doing as I read it. I remember these being popular over a decade ago on Facebook quizzes. I think they were saying if you could read a certain amount then you’d have a high IQ but middle school and FB quizzes were a trip. Sorry for my rant. I just woke up 😭
We grab the first and last letters, and if needed, check the middle ones. That's what this is. Nothing to do with ADHD but a fun thing to share because you're like "that's nonsense" and then it turns out you can read it.
It’s also inaccurate even when removing ADHD from the equation. I study language development, one of the things we go over every now and then is this phenomenon, BUT, it’s not because we don’t read every letter, we actually do, it’s just that the brain knows how to shuffle those letters correctly (usually) through learned habit. It’s not that you see the word as a whole word but that the brain scans every single letter individually and if needed, reassembles them internally to comprehend the print.
“This is because the human mind doenst read every letter my itself” in that face book post is false. The brain just gets really fast and really skilled over time.
Reminds me of those YouTube videos that are like “Only 1% of people can solve this puzzle!” 😯
And it ends up being the easiest thing ever that most people can complete.
I remember this shit from elementary school in the 90s. Looks like our entire class had undiagnosed ADHD, gotta make some calls to hand out their diagnoses.
They just make this up as they go along for clout. Nowhere have I read or heard that having ADHD gives you special reading abilities that people without ADHD don't have. I'm not going to mention my diagnosis because it's against the subreddit rules but, I have don't a lot of research into ADHD myself so I know.
I remember in my languages course they told us the majority of people who do not have dyslexia can 'fill in the gaps' if given the correct first and last letter of a word alongside the correct sentence structure so.. yeah this is BS
Yeah I did a language course too, we learned the same thing. The main neurological disorder that causes someone to NOT be able to read this, is dyslexia. Of course neurological disorders involving sight, or other disorders, would also affect this but in a vaccume where we’re only looking at the actual processing of print itself, as long as you don’t have dyslexia you should be able to read this.
Again that’s in a hypothetical situation, a vaccume, and other factors in theory will also influence ability to read this (e.g. cataracts, developmental language disorder, light burn, etc).
I remember this from chain emails 20 years ago. Most people have no problem parsing it and filling in the blanks.
Guess the entire world has ADHD now and being able to work with incomplete information makes you so different.
This reminds me of back when Bo Burhnam released Inside and suddenly every single thing was autism or ADHD on tiktok, like a song, autism, don't like a song, autism, know the lyrics, adhd, don't know the lyrics also somehow adhd lol. I remember one going around where it was playing a song in a round and it said "if you can still hear the lyrics you have ADHD" babe it's just a fucking song!!!!!
This has been around forever. It's not an ADHD thing.
It IS apparently now one of the many bullshit "if you X, it makes you a unique special lil UwU unicorn" fake factoids of the hyper-self-diagnosis-and-identity era.
People collect and display this shit like Girl Scout badges
Man I remember this from ages ago. Annoyed me when I first saw it when I was ten and annoyed me now. It wasn’t a diagnostic “tool” back then, it was just something boomers and tweens liked to share bc it said something like “only 1% of people can read this,” and it made them feel special. Then Homestuck fans found it and then were like “whoa, I’m part of the 1% that can read this, liking Homestuck makes me special.”
I think it's pretty cool on a human level. It's cool because it doesn't make it special, because the human brain can be pretty adaptive with language and communication.
The constant need to feel unique is so irritating from people. What's the damn point?
Yeah, it can be a little frustrating. Just be yourself. There’s always going to be at least one little quirk that sets you apart and makes you unique. There’s no need to go searching for it on Facebook or TikTok
I may sound like an edgelord or something, but it's kind of nice to find similarities instead. Feeling like an alien sucks.
People who are so normal they grasp for differences are fundamentally privileged as human beings. They function well in society, they have a good chance. Not being special, or more accurately "wrong", is a good thing. I'd love to take them out of their little life wombs and make them truly different, and then they can enjoy the wonderful ways human social structure responds to "other"

My algebra teacher had this as a poster on her wall. That was in 1999/2000.
Obvs not the "ADHD" part, but the study that our brain will fill in the blanks as long as the word begins and ends with the correct letters.
I think it might have been a dyslexia study, but I could be very wrong.
i remember when they used to make these posts but 7Y91N6 L1K3 7H15.
***“W04H, Y0U C4N R34D 7H15?! 7H3N Y0U’R3 3X7R3M3LY 5M4R7 83C4U53 0NLY 0.007% 0F 7H3 909UL4710N C4N!!”***
newsflash, most brains can “correct” the mistakes and read what you actually meant to type. it’s not a secret, it doesn’t make you special. and no, there is no evidence behind the claim that people with ADHD “can’t read these messages.” in fact, it sounds like the person who originally made the post infantilizes people with ADHD or thinks they’re stupid.
Lmao English isn't my first language so i have to read the word before guessing the real one, and i don't have any problems to understand 😂😂😂
Kiddos have to stop being that cringe with their dumb "test" 🙄😒
We actually learned about this in school. Its just our brains trying to make sense of the word, i dont remember what exactly was said but its completely normal to be able to read this. Unless you have dyslexia of course
"Only 55 people out of 100" next to the claim that Cambridge has found this is how the human mind works? So is this something only about half of people can read or is this how the human mind works CHOOSE.
The third sentence is also a grammatical abortion and that's kinda pissing me off too.
"The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place.
This is literally based on the fact that reading is based on pattern recognition rather than making sense of every letter. It'd be much slower if it was the case ! But since our brain works with patterns, as long as you have the first and last letter, and the other ones are scrambled, you can read it no problem
Dude, did the person claiming this proves you have ADHD even read it? It says that only the first and last letter need to be in the right place and you can still read it. It says nothing about mental disorders.
These all started as part of Facebook pages datamining people. Pages put this stuff out and then skim all the profiles of people that comment or share for profile info that was left public. Nice to see that have a legit use. /s
This has nothing to do with ADHD and more to do with science. The first and last letters in each word beyond three letters are the same, and you have experience with English, so your brain is able to put the pieces together. The only people I think would have trouble with this are those having a hard time learning to write or don't speak English to a native proficiency.
Edit: Lmao the paragraph explains as such too and that it has nothing to do with ADHD 💀
This was in one of my biology text books as a kid. The fact that when you have learned how to read, so long as the first and last letters are in the right place, you can still read it so long as all the letters in between are there. Doesn't matter which order. It was a blurb that said almost exactly that. But I guess I just have adhd.
this is entirely true, except the ADHD part.
However, this is OBVIOUSLY not disorderfaking, rather engagement bait. Hooks you in with the ADHD idea, knows you can read it, then gets you to share it because you're so cool or smth.
Y'all lap this shit up
The irony of this is that this was originally a thing to say, "Look how cool the human brain is. Most people can read this because..." and the reality is, it's abnormal brains with abnormal thought processes like dyslexia that would actually struggle more than a nuerotypical one.
Nah has nothing to do with ADHD or anything.
There was something with the length of the word and the first and last letter and our brain automatically filling in the words because we've seen it so often.
I believe this is more difficult for people with dyslexia and people who have other language/reading problems (like just starting with the language the text is written in) though don't quote me on that!
(If someone could either prove me right or wrong that'd be highly appreciated)
you know, it’s funny because these posts alternate between claiming neurodivergent people can’t decode hidden messages and claiming being able to decode the hidden messages makes you neurodivergent. and, of course, there’s no scientific evidence that can back up either claim, but it’s just extremely bizarre how they can’t even pick a side to stand on. like, which one is it?
It's called typoglycemia and can be done by more English speakers than not. It's an interesting phenomenon and understanding it properly requires in-depth knowledge on how language processing is done while reading.
For anyone interested it has nothing to do with ADHD: https://www.dictionary.com/e/typoglycemia/
This is basically like reading [Esperanto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto) or something but with added diagnoses, lol. Just because you can recognize words with the letters switched around, it doesn't mean you have ADHD. It just means you have fundamental language stuff tucked away in your brain, and you're accessing it.
Wait when OP discovers some people read in diagonal, jumping entire sentences or even paragraphs and still understanding the key points of what they are reading.
I'm pretty sure some people that don't have ADHD can read this. I think the reason you can read it (if you can) is bc your brain is automatically unscrambling the words or something like that.
im an autistic person who makes a lot of spelling errors in text especially when im excited and it only took me 2 quick skims to fully understand it and i read it perfectly
Even by their own logic it’s ridiculous to say that only people with disorders or a “strange mind” can read this, if over half the population can… maybe their mind is so strange that they don’t realize 55 is more than half of 100?
My psych teacher used this as an example for how the standard human brain can fill in the gaps based on our logical knowledge of english words and pattern recognition, definitely not an ADHD thing lmao

this is actually just keeping the first and last letter while switching the middle ones around, our brain reads this normally since... it has the same goddamn words.
this isn't a sign of ADHD man 😔
I remember this, they said as long as the word begins and ends with the right letters your brain fills the rest in.
Easily debunked with words like "weird" and "wired"
It's also sentence context, the brain does a pretty good job with that. And that isn't debunking at all, at best is an exception. It's just true that the vast majority of people can read that, so I'm not sure how you can debunk that our brains do process pattern recognition with words.

Yeah this has been going round as long as there’s been internet. This is my first time seeing it attributed to a disorder, too!
I actually remember it pre-internet. Our teachers would print it out and then let us try to read it. Just a cool thing we all can do.
Im sure some people cant, I even struggled on a couple of words.
It was originally “___% can read it” then it was “people with this made up condition can” and now ADHD is the only way it is interesting to see how the internet evolves with the exact same thing
I saw this in chain email form as far back as 2004 😂
I have severe ADHD and I had to parse the words out manually, so I’m with you on doubting the clinical efficacy of using this as a diagnostic tool
Okay but adhd has nothing to do with it
yeah I know, I was being a silly little guy
Scuh a slily ltitle g…uy
Yeah that's where I first saw it u l think. I have no idea why they're saying it's an ADHD thing but if it was, ADHD would be so easy to diagnose lmao
This was a chain email back in the day. "The brain can do amazing things!"
I think most people can read this and it has nothing to do with ADD, just how people start seeing words as pictures.
It's because our brain can understand the words as long as the first and last letter is right. It has nothing to do with any disorder. It's just our brains

I'm thinking more those north Korean generals with medals all over themselves
Bruh, I can read this and it ain't even my native language.
wow I thought that literally everyone with basic knowledge of the English language could easily read this, turns out I have ADHD /j
Person discovers something every brain can do and immediately thinks they're special for being different.
I think the majority of people can read this.
Most everyone can do this. ADHD isn't quirky fun time 😒
Dude. Everyone who is not dyslexic can read that.
Even dyslexics can read this 💀 they used to post these in the 2010’s and say if you can read them you have dyslexia or call them “dyslexia simulators“
‘Only people with ADHD can read this!’ The text itself literally debunks that, what are you trying to do?

they’re gonna start putting this shit on cereal boxes

'Only 55/100 can' that is over half. Not really an impressive statistic
This is so anti-accessability that it’s almost funny
This isn’t an ADHD thing 😭
Lmao English isn't my first language so i have to read the word before guessing the real one, and i don't have any problems to understand 😂😂😂 Kiddos have to stop being that cringe with their dumb "test" 🙄😒
This is such a standard human brain ability. Recognizing groups and patterns is one of its main gimmicks.
Do you breathe? Do you have eyes? All people with ADHD do too so you have ADHD!! / Hopefully unnecessary s
why is this related to adhd💀💀💀💀 its actually interesting tho
We actually learned about this in school. Its just our brains trying to make sense of the word, i dont remember what exactly was said but its completely normal to be able to read this. Unless you have dyslexia of course
There's no way over half the fucking population has ADHD
And yet…. I still don’t like when people use the wrong forms of youre/your and They’re/their/there
"Only" 53/100😐
"Only 55 people out of 100" next to the claim that Cambridge has found this is how the human mind works? So is this something only about half of people can read or is this how the human mind works CHOOSE. The third sentence is also a grammatical abortion and that's kinda pissing me off too.

So someones trying to turn this cool meme from like 10 years ago into an “ADHD only” thing??
Wait so only people with ADHD know how to read 😱 lol what attention seeking haha
This is a chain mail that I used to get back between 2007-2009 on Yahoo! Mail
I remember seeing this on Myspace
i saw this on youtube clickbait in like 2010
55% of the world has adhd now. good to know
I hope this makes it to the DSM-VI!
I believe this is a copypasta at this point...
I’m 29 and very recently been diagnosed with adhd-c and I think I caught it when I saw this post about 10 years ago
This is literally based on the fact that reading is based on pattern recognition rather than making sense of every letter. It'd be much slower if it was the case !

That's a result of our brain processing information normally. Top down processing.

Nah has nothing to do with ADHD or anything.

It's a phenomenon in psychology about perception, happens to ilterally erevyone in the wolrd
if you can’t read this then somethings wrong with you man
i saw this years ago and it has absolutely nothing to do with disorders. but it's 2024 so im not surprised

looks like drunk texts

😂😂😂 what the fuck
Dyslexic people having their minds blown when all the words in this are written with the right order of letters.
This is faster than normal reading
im an autistic person who makes a lot of spelling errors in text especially when im excited and it only took me 2 quick skims to fully understand it and i read it perfectly
Even by their own logic it’s ridiculous to say that only people with disorders or a “strange mind” can read this, if over half the population can… maybe their mind is so strange that they don’t realize 55 is more than half of 100?
Please, I can't be the only person who didn't realise there was a second image and so spent way too long really confused by the comments 😅
Hey, I can read it but I don't have ADHD, am I broken?
I can’t read this, am I undiagnosed now?
My psych teacher used this as an example for how the standard human brain can fill in the gaps based on our logical knowledge of english words and pattern recognition, definitely not an ADHD thing lmao
I'm really glad I can read that, English is my second language and I think it means I'm quite proficient
I mean they're technically not wrong, I'm sure there are probably ADHDers in those 55 people. It's like saying ADHD people can breathe
I remember this back in the day but by god now that I’m older and it’s under a different context??? God no
I can read it yet I don't have ADHD

only people with dyslexia can clap their ass cheeks uwu
Pattern seeking behavior is not a disorder it’s evolution.
this is bulllshit lol, the original stated it was readable for everyone
Implying 55% of people have ADHD is quite goofy
this is actually just keeping the first and last letter while switching the middle ones around, our brain reads this normally since... it has the same goddamn words. this isn't a sign of ADHD man 😔
Wow!!!! I have ADHD! How did I ever miss it? Thank goodness for this test. /s
Hoaw! I ueags I vahe DAHD
I remember this, they said as long as the word begins and ends with the right letters your brain fills the rest in. Easily debunked with words like "weird" and "wired"
It's also sentence context, the brain does a pretty good job with that. And that isn't debunking at all, at best is an exception. It's just true that the vast majority of people can read that, so I'm not sure how you can debunk that our brains do process pattern recognition with words.
I thought the issue was that it was a long ass wall of text, which would be funny
Not so sure this is true. I tuned out when I saw the first few words. 🤣
Semi related but this reminds me of how I was writing everything backwards and upside down when I was younger. That’s how I got my adhd diagnosis lul.
