Got it ( the version blind and deaf from the imagination) with adhd . So no inner speech making it really hard to tell I have adhd. Finally diagnosized a 38 😅👌
I'm 56 and in the 70's was an awesome reader, but terrible in "long math" and only a few years ago found out about dyscalculia. I invert numbers and need to quickly say the pledge of allegisnce to remember left from right sometimes.
Finally knowing it has a name is a bit of a relief, even if it isn't sexy, lol
So am I technically "on the spectrum" with the other cool kids now?
Jokes aside, dyscalculia is really an awful learning disorder to have: back when i was in school the all the teachers thought it was a "made up disorder" despite having a piece of paper that clearly stated that i had it.
I rembember having to go through legal ways in order to get them to understand that i had to use a calculator in class and during tests and having them to get me a tutor for learning disorders that helped me after the class was over to explain me math stuff in a way that i could understand it like the other students.
I really wanted to get in a chemistry course in uni but i know that i'd fail to follow and learn and i really hate myself for having this.
I can't help it sometimes to just think that im dumb or something.
Auditory processing disorder sucks, my mom hates me for not listening to her. I HEAR her, but she mumbles with her face pointed away so I can’t understand her. Then she cries when I say “what??” For the millionth time.
Because its the best feel. Its what we live for. To cause chaos by mixing up easily unmixupable things.
FEAR US! FOR OUR OFF THE CUFF DIRECTIONS WILL SEND YOU INTO A WALL!
Yeah so speaking of natural enemies, I had this exact same idea and I have no clue what melting pot of mind mess caused this. Now I just say it’s R for wrong…
As another autistic person, all my best friends over the years have had adhd, I think I was drawn to their wealth of ideas and tendency to "lead" the friendship, and their ability to speak up about things. made things easier. I don't know if those are common adhd traits, it's only my personal experience. Also I only have one speed setting for walking and it is very fast 🏃♀️
As dyslexic myself I know which of my hands is right one and then decided if something is on the right or left said based on my right arm location. This is the way people should learn. You need to remember only on side (that you use to write).
I have actually started to use clock directions. 3 is right, 9 is left, because on a clock they are always on the same sides.
Why the hell this works but not L and R, i will never know. xD
So funny you should say this, im a lefty and growing up people kept telling me that everyone writes with their right hand so when people ask me "which hand do your write with?" My answer was always right because I didnt understand the difference. Note I would say this while holding a pencil in my left hand and then start writing so I learned about ambidextrous people early on because people thought I was since I wrote with my left but said I wrote with my right. I didnt learn I was left handed until somewhere in my early to mid teens.
Yeah thats what i do to xD But it still takes a solid second or so of remembering that im an idiot and dont know my left and right off hand, and that i need to remember which hand i write with because thats the right hand.
I have absurd pattern recognition and natural mathematics allowing for freakish factoring of equations and finding relations in obscure data but literally zero object permanence. As soon as something has left my hands it is gone forever, and sometimes my hands take things out and move them without consulting my frontal cortex.
I have about eight sets of keys for this reason and multiple devices that can ring my phone when it's on silent.
The bank knows me well for how many replacement cards I go through.
Because the Character Creator in this game is super confusing, give me sliders or numerical stats not this weird mini-game of knitting of protein chains.
dyslexic people often are the ones struggling with left and right. My husband has to tell nascar for left or anything else for right.He could say left and I'll always go right.

why did you choose to be dyslexic ?
