Hope the title says most. Do you have any kind of (or supposedly) LD? How has that affected your Life so far (school/work/psychological barriers in socializing...).
Actually as I write it down here question it occured to me I would like to know how many of you are twice-exceptional and since I ask that I would also like to know which of you think/are "only" Learning Disabled...? (don't believe many are)
And because I dare to ask such a thing I'll start. I have (supposedly) 3 Learning disabilities ( am not so sure about ADHD). The one that complicates me life the most is Dyspraxia I would say. So simple tasks such as paper work or house chores as "cut from a comedy " and no could not be a secretary I suppose . I get also lost REALLY Easily. Interesting thing is it gets much better when I am not sober. And the Last one I probably have is Dysgraphia. That also used to be a bit of puzzle to me because I did not know few things about it in the past. Now that I do I have to smile when recalling one of my teacher's saying: "You write something else than you think". Was right even though it's not "that" brutal... So school was one of my nouns up there. Few people I encountered during highschool figured out I have a Huge discrepancy between my oral examination performance and written one in favour of the former (in some areas quite "Brilliant" while in others Literally Retarded - Talking about IQ 70 if I can help with that construct). But as I said overall functioning in non-verbal tasks was not that bad but nothing that special also really. And as for social life, relationships etc. I guess it realy helped I never considered my weaknesses a problem that much anyway since tasks it affected the most were not of importance to me at the time of my say teenage years. Here I would also like to ask how big is a chance it could be mostly why I evolved this way. I put emphasis on few domains and maybe neglected some others. Did you have simillar thoughts about your weaknesses? (asking large gaps there - again if used to illustrate even 70 points in sub-tests) My living example is probably the reason I strongly disagree with notion of some people that you are either verbal/Language type of person or Non-verbal/Maths and I also like to put Terece Tao as example. So depending on task involved people can get an impression I am completely stupid and they would be partially right. I read somewhere about a person who's mental capabilities were truly amazing but could tell you "many" things while he could not do them himself (like constructing something for example). I strongly relate to this do some of you too?
Even though it turned into kind of an Essay the point was simply to give an example of what I am mainly asking YOU Here and would like you to share your stories in this sphere of your Life...
Looking forward,
