DoR,

Exactly what kind of learning disability do you allegedly have? "I'm 21 and I don't know what a verb is" isn't a learning disability? "I suck at English" isn't a learning disability.

You claim not to be looking for excuses, but here you are making excuses.

And do you have any idea how silly it sounds to say, "I'm really, really smart. . .I just can't apply it in any way,"? Ooookaaay.

If you don't want to be ridiculed, then don't come here celebrating a handicap. Oh, wait--I wasn't ridiculing you. Just laying out some facts about the real world.

And, sorry dud(ett)e, but most ADD diagnoses add up to one thing: lack of (self-)discipline. Little Joan or Johnny won't pay attention in class? It's too much work to change parenting or teaching style--and, besides, that would imply some sort of responsibility for parents or teachers--so it's better to use drugs. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about, here, and you argue so much like Emil it's pathetic.

"Onos! My life is so hard; no one else can possibly understand because they're not me!"

It's great that, perhaps, you've found the key to doing better than you have. Present it that way, and you'll have all the support you need. Celebrate that you've discovered nothing is really your fault, and you'll be told how the world really works--because you obviously have no clue.

I was diagnosed with ADD.

Why? Because I talk faster than people can understand me and I was hyper. I was in 3rd or 4th grade, who isnt hyper in 3rd or 4th grade?

I took the stupid SAT's and scored in the "post" catagory for 8/10th's of the catagories.

Who the fuck cares?

The only real benefit I have, whether ADD is real or not, is that I can focus on like 7 things at once. Which really helps out my CCG playing

ADD kids should play CCG, it really seems to fit the mental set of what doctors diagnose as ADD. Which should really be a disease that you cant qualify for till your like 25, since kids in general are lacking in attention span

I want to apolidgize for the last coupel of nights. I've been under very heavy pressure from work, and when I got home I snapped and said stuff that didn't make sense. I realize that I wasn't being very coherent as many of you said, and again, I would just like to apolidigze.

As long as you visibly try, nobody can really come down on you.

First of ill i agree with sage on the ADD, was diagnosed with it, stuck on ritilin for years, and that shit can realy fuck ya up

second of all, it seemed like DoR was more happy about the disability becosue it let him better know where to focus his energies and if he goes about studying right he can suceed, and seriously sage, some tact never hurts, you go on at DoR on how meaningless test scores are in the real world, well isnt the same thing true for tactlessness

Well, if a learning "disorder" makes it harder for someone to learn in certain ways, then that could explain why he sucks at english. Everyone learns differently, and when everyone is forced into the same system of learning(public school) obviously those who don't learn well in that type of environment will do worse than others.

This is Bloodsage we're talking about here.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

Secondly, I never said i had ADD, though im sure i have it, im going to go get tested for it. I know quite a few people with ADD and it isn't bullshit. Trust me. The problems with scientists takes studys and other experiments is that they arn't always right. They can't test everyone. Heres some news for you, people differ, no two (uh oh, im female) people are the same.

I was diagnosed with ADD, and I honestly think I have it.

I would go to do something, and really, really try and do it, and find myself doing something hours letter, having totally forgotten what I was SUPPOSED to be doing.

Fequently.

I was on drugs for all of a month, then I quit them, and got over it myself, and it was HARD. But... I did it.

Now, I'm happy, my room is clean, my grades are up, and my fmaily life is better.

Gogo trying hard and willpower! ^______^
