Could I Have a Learning Disability?

Sounds like dyslexia and discacullia to me. I am and I see all theses problems in myself. I also thave scotopic sensitivity syndrome, which is when you try to read the paper but the 'rivers' the lines that run in between the words running down the page become more apparent, The white paper appears to drown the black ink/print Everything 'sparkles' like picksals on an untuned tv. Ans much more, look it up at 'irlen instatute' How's your spelling? Can you spell a word that someone says? Spell long words easly and shorter words have more difficulty? Try to get your school to test you. If you decide to go onto university you will need extra help. Good luck

i have many of the difficulties you have (but to a lesser extent), my problem is basically in my memory, i can barely remember steps and procedures, i almost never memorize directions, and many times, i try to say something, and i end up saying something else completely. i, like you need a lot of time in my homework, in class i have to choose to either take notes or understand the material, i can never do both at the same time. i coped with my memory problems with repetition. repetition will force things into your memory that you otherwise cant store easily. being good in maths requires imagination. the computational part of maths is simply practice, some people master mathematical procedures in maths with less practice, others like you and me, have to practice for a long time, every day before mastering a topic. i am now one year away from getting my maths degree. it was everything but easy. but i'll tell you this, the difficulties you face will pull you down at the beginning, but the more you practice and spend time thinking and solving problems, they will have less of an impact. our brains develop as we grow there are parts of the brain that increase in size depending on how we use it (for example, bus drivers have larger hippocamps due to memorizing more roads). and i believe that if you keep practicing and working hard, your difficulties will fade away and your brain will cope with them. you have to draw a single red line regarding this issue, you should promise yourself not to ever use these difficulties as an excuse for any failure you fall in (you will, as every person, come across a ton of failure).. here are some fun facts -Isaac Newton was semi-autistic -Winston Churchill (considered the best politician in the 20th cetury) had speech impediment. -Albert Einstein had difficulties expressing himself in writing, and wasnt that good in maths in school -Alexander Grahembel had learning disability. here's a list of people who suffer/ed from dyslexia http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/article_2130.shtml
