Is it normal I think I have a learning disability but don't think its the one they said I have. When I was a little kid they said I had ADHD.

I was always hyper active but I think it was mainly the fact I was always stuck in the house and had no friends so I never got out to play. My sibling who is overweight would do nothing but play video-games. I play them too but I had various other interests.

I did pay attention in class but I didn't always get the material. Some of the stuff I did not understand I just kind of ignored. Why it took me a very long time to figure out how to read a calender and tell time.

I was also obsessively clean as a child. When my parents tried teaching me to read with a flash cards as a kid I didn't get it. When they did it my brother did. Yet I wasn't able to read till I actually entered school.

    I have a.d.d it's basically the same but without the hyperactivity, instead of having behavioural problems at school I would just switch of and winder how cool it would be if I could stop time or what a shark/squirrel cross would look like.

    Some things still affect me, people ddon't seem to realise that a.d.d/a.d.h.d is more than just a learning difficulty for many the complications with communication of the neurotransmitters can lead to depression etc and states similar to bipolar, I feel thatfor me it's extremes of emotions, when I'm happy I'm very happy when I'm down I don't want to get out of bed and face the world etc.

    I still feel a little embarrassed with this, I wouldn't consider myself to be smart but I wouldn't consider myself to be stupid either yet I learnt the alphabet and order of months way after everyone else but this is the thing I hate, ask me What I think of any theory proposed by Freud or Jung and I can give you a detailed view on both sides of an argument, my theories and even playing the devils advocate, I will go on to tell you what the theory shows us about our own nature, however, ask me to tell you the time and occasionally it takes me longer to decipher than it has any right to, embarrassing.
