Learning Disabilities

[ItsOnNow]

A few years ago,I was officially diagnosed with having a learning dissability. I think this may explain some of the problems I have had over the years,especially socially. Im also sure I have add,and I have been taking ritalin,which has helped. I have noticed when I am at work, I am more drivne energetic person.

Does anyone else have a similar problem,and if so,how have you overcame it and turned it around?

I have ADD. I use to smoke a lot of pot, it made me feel better. I think it was a chemical imabalance or something. I dont know....I dont take meds now. I'm fine.

Socially I always had a lot of anxiety. I grew out of it with age.

I'm dyslexic, ADD and have social anxiety.
I joined this forum to improve my english skills.
Just find useful and interesting things to read on the net and in books.

It's like weight training with poor genitics, you just need to work twice as hard as most people.

I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid and took ritalin in middle school. It killed my appetite and made me tired all the time, so I stopped taking it. It seems to me that the idea of someone who doesn't have ADD is just a really boring person.

Of course ADD isn't a dibilitating thing. I could see dyslexia being a much bigger problem as would lots of other things. I consider ADD a personality enhancer.

At my university, the head counselor told me that under the law, having a high IQ and bad grades is proof of a learning disability. That's all it takes. Therefore, I've been "disabled" my entire life and never noticed!
