If I get tested for it and I do have working memory issues and other learning problems, I wonder at my age of 56, what could be done to improve my life. I am not in school anymore but I do make poor decisions and seem to not be able to remember consequences sometimes. Sometimes I am in the... so here and now.... that I make decisions based on a present situation and I am unable to see far ahead and what those decisions will mean in the future. I seem to have a problem with present and past memory. I am not sure what could be done to remedy this.
