Re: Learning disabbilitys and ddhd

I have a pretty high-upper average IQ but it seems like my brain works slower than anyone else’s, which is a pain when I want to participate in conversations that ping and pong amusingly all over the place. Oh well.

But here’s how I see my brain: it’s like a maze that I’m going thru for the first time. Things go in, and they hit a wall. Oops, gotta go another way, but wait, look at that pretty bird over there. . . oh yeah, I’m in a maze–now let’s see how we can go this time. Oops, another wall. Eventually I’ll get there and it will be an interesting process, but it’s certainly not a straight shot. In that sense, I’m slow.

Another thing to know: in sped circles it’s “common knowledge” that AD/HD comes with about a 10 point higher than average IQ, and that 1/6 of those with LD are also gifted. In order to be dxed with LD, you have to have at least an average IQ, so it’s unlikely that any of us here are “slow.” Too fast for most people most likely and we can understand things that most people would never dream of.
