1 Learning Difficulties Sun Jun 02, 2013 3:57 pm
So, it has been a while since I actually posted something that could possibly be considered interesting and definitely something to do with myself... I just thought that I will ask if anyone here has any learning difficulties? If you do not want to talk about it publicly or not at all then that is fine by me BUT I recently found out I am both dyslexic and dyspraxic and thought I might just write and ask whether anybody else has any learning difficulties at all :)
I am not ashamed of this (probably because I only found out about it about two or three weeks ago), to be fair I am far from ashamed - in a way I am proud. During my full dyslexia assessment I found out my IQ is in the top 2% of the whole British population and if that is not something to be proud of then I do not know what is. Either way my memory (both visual and auditory) is below average as compared to the whole UK population and that explains why regardless of always being perceived as smart by my teachers I never quite managed to get any exceptionally high grades in any exams... I have only been diagnosed recently which means I have gone through most of my education not knowing I am dyslexic and not getting any additional help. Well... I think that is enough about my learning difficulties!
Has anybody else got any related stories to tell? Any good tips for revision/studying/memory improvement? Please share anything and everything that you think is relevant :)
