I have a weird attention span. Sometimes I think of 7 subjects in the span of 10 seconds and they are forgotten as soon as they are thought about, and sometimes, I can't think of anything apart from a certain subject for a period of 10 hours...

Attention span

Digit span
Letter span

As a child, I was aware I could only deal with three digits easily (maximum). Also, as a child I could handle three syllable words but not longer. Years later I was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive and, for me, the right medicine (a central nervous system stimulant - alerting agent) allows me to work with seven digit numbers (1,000,000) and words like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (with the help of Google spell)

I also had a challenge with sequencing as in building numbers together as part of solving math questions and building words into sentences and paragraphs..

I had a very short attention span. My attention span would involuntarily switch about four times a minute.
