I'm just wondering. I wonder if I myself have one. I've always had some trouble understanding some subjects.
Things that make me wonder if I have one or not are when I sit there studying hours upon hours and get an embarrassing or barely passing grade, while other people go out and party hard core, or don't even open their books and get a better grade than me. That drives me insane. I ponder the thoughts that maybe I'm just lazy, but how is that possible when I put in all of the effort that I do? I sometimes look at myself as a moron or an idiotic fool.
A couple of yrs ago I went in for some testing to see if maybe I did have a learning disability. ( I went to the little hick town hospital that I used to live in) The tests that the Psychologist did, came up concluding that I did not have a learning disability. I recently went in and took some other tests at job service and the lady giving the test suggested and asked me if I had any known learning disability. I explained to her that I've always thought that there was something not quite right about my learning abilities, and I then went on explaining to her how I was tested befor with the results saying nothing seemed to be wrong.
She asked me a bunch of questions from a paper she had. After I answered them all she went on an explained that if you had over a score of 5 you could possibly have a problem, my score was 13.
The lady then went on telling me about her nephew, saying that he had a slight learning disability where it was hard with the normal test that are run to detect.
After we talked she asked if I would find the name of the ward (or what ever department it was) where they ran the tests, so we can find out exactly what I was tested for. Also I assume it is to determine if additional testing is necessary.
I feel almost like when I think about this that I'm using it as a cruch as to why I am not succeeding. Also I feel very worried in the sense of if I do find something is wrong with me I'm going to feel even more stupid or like a retard.
Can anyone else relate? Does anyone have a problem like this, or think they do?
