OK, so I figured all my learning troubles stemmed from ADHD :faint: I though when I was medicated properly I would soon be able to "Learn" things..I wanted to enroll straight in night school because I was SURE it would now be easy to LEARN as I have an above average IQ..LOL..sure..sure sure...
while the medication works brilliant for calming me , and slowing me down, and thinking before I speak etc etc...it hasn't helped with my ability to "LEARN"
I bought a few school books, and government and the stock market, which was always something I felt stupid not knowing about. For the life of me, I still can't LEARN it, even with medication..
I just had a thought, after trying to figure out a few complicated posts :p
I learnt to read a write easily..no probs at all there. I was very good at basic maths, and still am, but not too good in upper high where we had to LEARN formulars etc..
I write really bad, although I spell well. I often mix up letters, but not back to front..eg..I will write (too fast BTW) todya we are goign shopping. My phone number is 1234567, but I will write 1324467..then scribble over it, because I can see it straight away..etc etc..
A light just came on in my head....I may have the co-existing condition after all my bragging I don't;)
Maybe I have a learning disability too...and I didn't even think about it until today!!! I just figured it was ADD, and now I would be fine :(
any ideas??
