Self Diagnosis Talk: Raise your had if you've got ADD or Dyslexia

I find it a lot harder to concentrate on things, especially reading, than I did when I was younger (I am 25 fwiw). Is this just part of getting older or a sign of adult ADD?

I've experienced the same thing. I think it's just a result of concentration not being at a premium anymore. When we were kids, pretty much anything we did required concentration. Now it seems that very few things require a lot of concentration, and as a result, your skills have diminished.

A trivial example would be driving somewhere that requires a map/directions. When I started driving it required pulling out a map, figuring out which roads to take, figuring out if there was a better path, which turns had to be made etc... Now you either have GPS in your car, or the new 'old fashioned' way is to go to mapquest and printing off the directions.
