[QUOTE="Brodi, post: 670253, member: 19696"] Oh,more then sure! All my life I have had scored above average in reading comprehension and, according to the psychologist who did the neropsych testing, in that regard my IQ is super high. But, I cannot do math at above the (early) second grade level. What you see here is sort of like how a person who has been blind their whole life MIGHT have better hearing then the average person, change "blind" to math and "hearing" to things involving reading, facts, etc. Thank you, for your encouragement. We are also sort of the "black sheep" of the family. My mom is the only without a college degree (right now she is 100% military disabled due to her MULTIPLE psychiatric issues), the only one who had one kid and the only one NOT in CA. Plus, I am the only one with any real challenges (outside of a cousin with suspected ADHD and another three who may be on the spectrum) and the only one who is transgender. I also haven't seen them (outside of one uncle) since 2010. While the above sounds like no big deal, it has created a proverbial chasm between us. We have never really been "part" of the family and at times were treated as sort of a charity case (when I was younger they would send us money at Christmas since we have hovered near the poverty line most of my life). So, I don't really have support outside of my parents (mostly my mom, dad does not have a clue what to do with me). I doubt there is a BB&BS type group for adults, though how I wish there was.
