My learning disability wasn't recognized or diagnosed until my late-20's, as I finally decided to go to college. I was then able to get double time to do my tests, as my memory has to work harder to recall information.
I've tried hard to keep this disorder to myself work-wise, but have suffered chronic work problems as a result. I am on SSI now, but got a job through a state funded work center. My disability has become more significant after brain surgery and traumatic brain injury, so I am able to get handicap assistance on the job, if I need it.
Perhaps that would be a possibility for others as well? In my case, someone would come from the local Workforce Center and help me process the information, to gain a better understanding of what to do, how to do it, and try to improve the speed at which I work.
