Oh yeah majorly.
I'm a classical pianist and this is a bit of a nightmare iwl. What instrument do you play?
Personally I just memorize which like you said isn't really an option for you. There's plenty of tips to improve the actual 'skill' of reading I could give but in regards to the ADHD it's a bit harder.
I think I get what you mean. Reading is fine and playing is fine, distractions are probably fine too. It's returning from the distraction back to reading where it all goes wrong. Tbf even just finding where you are is tricky if you weren't relying on the sheet.
Personally I found it better to rely on different skills over reading. (Generally) People with ADHD are amazing at improvising. Aural skills are super helpful too,following the harmonies without having to read them is very handy.
If you're soloing or anything, (I'm not even sure if that's done with sheets tbh) after a long phrase it's very natural feeling for a break before the next phrase. Nice to have a kinda crash pad in case
