First off, thank you so much for the reply.

Question 1: No I haven't. The closest I've gotten to that is when I met with the psychologist specializing in ADHD. He said it was unusual that "my speaking ability is not hindered while everything else is difficult." The topic of LD didn't come up, and he pretty much concluded that my ADHD is so intense that it conflicts with every mental function. I should probably get a formal test for my IQ.

Question 2: Yes, since I realized that I learn easier with audio and video, I turned to websites like KhanAcademy.org. It has helped my math skills, and I did improve in proficiency. Also I have been watching documentaries on science and history heavily for the past six years.

But I still don't feel comfortable in a classroom. Maybe the classroom environment is part of the problem. I do have very high anxiety around strangers.

Thanks so much for your encouragement. Yes, I do believe that my knowledge is improving over time but it's very slow.

In general, I fear that with my LD symptoms that it will be very hard for me to learn at a required pace, like for instance, In a new job situation.

If I could just think and learn a little bit faster all my other problems woudn't matter.
