Sometimes, one of the hardest things about having a disability is in admitting to yourself when you need or would benefit from a tool to assist you with things that non-disabled folks can easily do on their own.

Relatedly: If you have weapons grade ADHD like I do, get a text-to-speech plugin for your browser. It makes a world of difference in reading particularly "slippery" articles and texts.

@mawr What're you using for the aforementioned plugin, by the way? I've got "multilanguage text to speech (tts)" from addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firef but if there are other recommended ones...?

@ElectricKeet I use Chrome as my primary browser, so my recommendation wouldn't likely be of much use to you. ^^; I'm just using the first one I found that works, honestly.
