Probably not even a little slow Trashman. You probably think of stuff that others would never have come up with and then you’re wondering how in the world they can’t see it like you can. I read a great book called “In the Mind’s Eye” about learning disabilities and the different way of seeing that many people w/ LD have and that the world could benefit from, if only they could figure out how to do so.

My brother and I both have inattentive ADD and he has LD and I don’t. Or I didn’t think I did until I began studying for my praxis for teaching sped and realized that I have an auditory processing disorder and that explains why I’ve always received a garbled message when people are speaking. Oh I get most of it, but if someone says there is a meeting on such and such a date and such and such a time and it’s very important that you be there and I’ll dutifully write it down and then be off by a month when the time comes. I must see it in writing to get it straight. Also, I tend to have a poor memory for things that people have told me and that’s bad for social skills. Funny thing is, people tell me I’m a good listener!
