[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 273305, member: 7083"] That is so true. My Full Scale IQ with my neuropsychologist evaluation was 115, which is still high-average (according to the report). My Verbal IQ (judgment, reasoning, data manipulation) was 133 - in the 99th percentile, while my Performance IQ (distractibility, attention, short term memory) was 94 - in the 34th percentile. He said based on my testings and responses, I probably used to be around 135-140 Full Scale IQ. So, while others don't see an issue, it took me a really long time to adjust. When this really started to become a problem, I said that I felt stupid. I was really embarrassed. I have adjusted, but it is frustrating that I can't do what I used to be able to do. And because of my Perfomance IQ I have limitations. For example, he said I need a job that doesn't have deadlines. *blink* Is there such a thing? And he said I need a job in a similar field because it will take me too long to learn something new. I worked in accounting. There are deadlines. Sigh.... And when the fatigue and/or pain is really bad, my brain feels like swiss cheese. I can't remember anything, can't find my words and lose my train of thought mid-sentence. If I'm lucky, I get it back again. More often than not, it's just gone. And don't ask me to do math. [/QUOTE]
