[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 387278, member: 84"] Well I've never broken it down like that but yes. Even at 24 Travis still varies on how well he can perform tasks depending on the evironment, the task itself, his interest in the task. If it has anything to do with a computer he could keep at it 24/7 even with very little sleep. And he's gone 3 days in a row with no sleep programming a new game. lol Doesn't phase him. College english.........I don't think the instructor held his attention more than 5 mins. He has to force himself (literally) to do assignments and is frustrated himself at his very short attention span. English......well language in general is one of his weakest areas even though he's improved far beyond what anyone had hoped. If there are a lot of distractions in the classroom forget it. He'll be all over the place. He can't concentrate, sensory overload. But you noticed I said[B] college[/B] english. And he's not doing bad in it either. It just really takes all the effort he has to apply himself to it. He's teaching himself ways to make it easier for him, and his professors are helping him find ways to make things that are difficult easier. [/QUOTE]
