Why is that?

Most likely they would read a synopsis of the book and it's ideas, be like that's super cool, I will bookmark to remind myself to order on Amazon. Completely forget or ignore the bookmark until months later when it's time to clean out bookmarks, remember how it was a good idea, and repeat the cycle likely. Or just get stuck in a YouTube black hole for 8 hours.

Okay, I see. I suggested the book because once my son was diagnosed, it was handy to refer to and I could make notes in it. But I sense you feel like you exhibit signs of ADHD and perhaps your parents aren't taking you seriously?

I was inferring why /u/special_circumstances would have the glazed over look in reaction to the word "book", based on how I react to that recommendation. Its both a blessing and a curse sometimes, but you learn to manage.
