Is your math disability dyspraxia? I think my sister has that... and about your social skills, may I ask how you improved them so well? because it's been a problem for me as long as I can remember... I think i was and maybe still am, something like a selective mute.
Not dyspraxia. Really with what I was diagnosed with it's a decline in spactial skills, math, social skills, coordination and sensory depravation. I am really more like someone with dsycalculia, the way I stuggle with spactial distances and direction. I struggle with everything I mentioned except the social skills. I have my downfalls sometimes, like for instance I don't always know when it's my turn to speak and interupt and I tend to be the kind who speaks too loudly without knowing or struggle occasionally with eye contact but that's about it honestly. I can't explain what happened. It was like a switch that was turned off for a long time and one day it turned on and I can now understand cues like sarcasm and facial expression and when someone is lying. I can see through other's intentions with grace and can understand many things I couldn't. I can be a bit awkward sometimes but I have a larger scale of comprehension so if I say I struggled with social problems some people don't believe me lol. I remember telling someone this once and saying I was misdiagnosed because they have improved, and I understood why he got such an impression so I didn't say anything further. As far as you go I hope everything goes well. That sucks.
Is it normal that sometimes I feel mentally retarded?

Damn I am in the exact same boat. I was also diagnosed with NLD and my social skills did not exist until the flipping of said switch. Strange, really.
