I'm not ADHD, but that particular passage using that particular font and those particular colors seemed to speed up my ability to read the text. But when Staments posted below (https://lemmy.zip/post/45655234/20636698) using what looks like the same methodology, it ended up being an impediment. I struggled to even get through the first sentence.

So I have to wonder if there's more to it than just randomly putting a character or few in bold at the start of each word -- like maybe it's also highly dependent on things like the font being use and making sure to use specific words and phrases that are conducive to this technique.

To be fair, when I open that link, I get light gray text on a dark brown-or-yellow-greyish background which isn't that easily readable for me - at least contrast wise.
