Learning Disability

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just wondering if anyone on here besides myself has a Learning Disability that makes their Processing Skills slow?

I'm dyslexic & my precessing skills are pretty slow sometimes but I'm not sure if that is due to my dyslexia or not. I sometimes ask questions or ask people what they said & I figure it out rite before they tell me because I process the information wrong or backwards or get it confused at 1st but then my brain gets it rite like a minute latter.

I have NVLD, but I actually have extremely fast processing speed. My mind is always running on high speed, so this is why. It's also because, as far as my visual-spatial skills go, I either instantly know how to do a problem or cannot do it unless I'm given a LOT of time (and sometimes, not even then).

I blame my many LDs for my slowness especially Audio processing disorder and Dyslexia. I had to tell my employer about them or else I wouldn't have managed to keep my job. They completely impair my ability to be efficient in the work place. If I didn't have those constantly holding me back I could've been a manager and not just an assistant. I tried to get promoted again recently but I failed so badly because of my LDs,. My boss still apologized he knows I have difficulty in certain areas. I thought with more practice I could do better but I don't think I'll ever be able to take orders over a phone and respond quickly in tense situations. I really feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed of myself for my difficulties even though it's not my fault. It's like being a cripple who's always dreamed of being an athlete. Who will never have the ability to compete, and is also not disabled enough to be in the special Olympics either. I just can't win.
