okay, so i have memory issues.
i forget little things.
and when i read a paragraph in a book or something, i always have to read it over and over and over and over...and sometimes it still doesn't even make sense.
i stare into space A LOT. and people always try to snap me out of it. teachers get frustrated and angry with me.
im shy and i don't talk much.
i have a hard time paying attention.
i might give weird and dirty looks for no good reason. im not racist and im not a mean person but i don't know why i do it and i don't know when i am doing it.
my grades are slipping.
my mom told me that even in 4th grade the teachers noticed this and called up and said that there was something wrong with me. my mom asked if it was ADD and she said no because she worked with ADD people before and its not that but yet she cant put her finger on what it could be.
i had to be tested for seigers and i was tested for ADD and sleep apnea but they said it was none of these. they just say that i need more sleep but no matter how much sleep i get, i still do these things. nobody knows whats wrong with me. Is this normal?

    Put the bong down...now!

    Maybe your an empty vessel sailing the hopeless seas of confusion, dreaming of gratuitous lands where self esteem grows with the palm trees.

    Maybe I should put the bong down.

    I would defenetly say ADD! I have that and I had all the same symptoms. They had to retest me 6 or 7 times before they confirmed it was ADD! And if you do or don't have it, it does NOT mean that you are different! A lot of the time you cant even tell when someone has ADD. When I told my friend that I had it, she didn't even believe me at first.

    And if it is just lack of sleep, then keep in mind that it is not healthy to sleep less 8 hours or more than 12 hours! It is possible to OVER SLEEP!!!

    Good luck!!! :)

    Sounds like you simply have dyslexia, you need to get tested for it. You may also have IRLEN's syndrome which is a side effect of dyslexia which causes problems when reading where the words seem to move around, merge together or not make sence on a page.

    Here in the UK people with dyslexia are entitled to a personal tutor and extra help with their education, there are even schools that teach a cericulum that is specified for dyslexic people.

    I am dyslexic myself, and it is nothing to worry about :) it just means your brain works a little differently. But it can make you a more inventive, artistic person all kinds of famour people have dyslexia too!

    Don't let anyone pull you down or make you feel stupid because most dyslexics have a higher than average IQ.

    I wish you luck :)

    I have that problem too. Go to a doctor and have a bloodtest done for your thyroid. Having an out-of-whack thyroid messes with your whole body including your mind. I haven't been treated for it yet but I hear the memory loss and attention span doesn't get better. :/
