I feel so frustrated right now. I am not stupid, but I can't seem to take in things. I done a course at college 4yrs ago and did ok, but I can't afford to continue at college but have a yearning to learn.

I enrolled for a on-line learning course and I pulled the page u and .........blank, I just go blank, I can't read slowly to follow the instructions, my eyes try to take it all in, in one go.

If someone stood in front of me and gave me tasks, I can do that, but to have to read and follow instructions, I just can't do it, its like theres a mental block.

I suffer from a degree of Fetal alcohol effect (not syndrome) as well and wonder if this is how it will be for life??

Has anyone else faced this problem? How have others approached learning?

I feel destined to be stuck exactly where I am for life.
