Also I can't drive, swim, cook (other than basis things) or tie my shoes (velcro <3).
I wasn't kidding when I said I was diagnosed with aspergers, part of that being nonverbal learning disorder. Cerebral hemisphere was probably damaged from drug and alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Last edited by boo boo; 07-31-2010 at 07:55 AM. |

I can't swim, my sense of direction is terrible and I'm sh*t at maths. They're my only hindrances.
Out of all three, I'd like to be a strong swimmer. If you could improve one think you're not very good at, what would it be? |

I take back the part about being retarded. I'm not retarded because my IQ level isn't below average.
But I do have a genuine learning disabillity. Enough so that I'm not considered able to join the work force so I've been getting disabillity checks for ages. It's also a primary reason I dropped out of public school. Living with me would be extremely difficult because there are a lot of things I'm not capable of doing. I have a serious issue with motor skills, cordination, rote memory, social skills, spatial problem solving and difficulty identifying humor. I'm slow at perception, I'm often the last person to "get" something". I'm telling you this now because you raised the question and it's never something I've wanted to bring up before in fear of people not taking me seriously because they think I'm retarded but no one takes me seriously anyway so I might as well confirm what everyone has always suspected. |

Well I think the more observant people have seen the signs. How I tend to be the person most likely not to get a joke, how I often forget details about other members even if they've told me a thousand times, how I misinterpret what people say so easily.
People probably just assumed I was stupid and well yeah, I am, but there's a biological reason for it. I'm pretty much mildly brain damaged. |
