[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 592104, member: 1550"] One of my main issues is a spatial orientation problem. I don't know if this is the same thing. I have very little understanding of where I am in time or space and often run over curbs because I judge space wrong, etc. I have face blindness which may or may not be a part of it. Time is a problem, so I make sure to always be very early. Time is evident to me only by looking at a clock. I can't judge it well. I have many visual memory deficits. Again, I don't know if this is what J. has or not, but it's the spatial arena and I've got it BAD. I'm going to Google spatial dyspraxia. Bet it's another name for one of my biggest problems :/ I hope J. gets the help he will need. While my visual memory is almost non-existant, I can almost recite books I've read by rote and have had many people stare at me and ask how I can remember. I stopped doing it because people gave me such odd looks. So my auditory memory is outstanding. With these neurological glitches, you get a very unusually developed person who is hard to figure out, even to the person. Can you imagine a poor kid? IQ is rather insignificant with a differently wired person. Their performance seems to defy the numbers and the IQ test can change too. I've had IQs of 94 and 120 and neither meant a whole lot in the big picture. I excel in certain areas in ways some geniuses don't...and in some very simple areas I can't do squat. The world is confusing. On the other hand, I was a bit slow at learning to read, but once I learned I exceed at it. Math was a much, much bigger problem. The French aren't that crazy about Americans, I hear, but Canada and the US are pretty much the same as far as mental health and different types of wired kids. France is definitely behind most of the developed world if most have not even heard of ADHD!! Glad you're getting some help...finally :) [/QUOTE]
