Were you tested for slow processing speed? Why are you diagnosing yourself?
You can't just assume that. You seem intelligent in your responses but you seem to have a bit distorted view of reality. Also slow processing speed doesn't necessarily mean unintelligent. You don't appear to be not intelligent but rather having distorted views on yourself and reality.
Make an appt with psychiatrist or even regular doc and discuss your concerns about slow processing speed.
My husband has Tourette's, so talk about opening ones mouth and what comes out at times....bet you it's worth that comes out of your mouth ( not swearing typically but just anything he thinks at the moment) along with noises and ticks that people stare at. it doesn't stop him from having successful career and exciting hobbies, friends and a wife. He did have therapy in younger years to learn some strategies.
Why don't you go see a doctor and a therapist?
