one more thing to add as others are saying there many forms of intelligence, I have a friend who has adhd and he took a IQ test when he was younger and he tested at Genius level or whatever they call the upper percentile, he is a wonderful writer and very creative, but when I look at him, the skills he has of being a writer/creativity/artistic although awesome are only the skills he has going for him. He has no practical skills whatsoever, he is poor with money, among other things. So having a low IQ means nothing, because he is smart as they come according to the IQ test he took, but when I look at him sometimes, he seems dumb as a rock in other areas. So it is all subjective.

As for me, I am good in other areas, such as connecting with people emotionally, I to have adhd and seem frantic and scattered, my room is a mess, I have no organizational skills. I suck at math, english like they offered in high schools and such. But I am good mechanically, along with automotive electrical, I also seem to have a great skill set in listening and understanding people and I seem to be able to read through people who are having a tough and can usually help them out. I dunno really how to describe the last one to well, I just seem to be able to get in tune with people really well, I have been able to since I was a child.

So really all in all is you have to find out what your good at and shove everything else aside as it means nothing to you and will just get in your way and bog you down! It is tough but it can be done slowly a bit at a time.
Thanks for this!
