119 Processing Speed

My working memory score should be better, but it discovered I have a learning disability in this. My scores are all over the place for working memory. It ranged from 0.8% to 91% (just working memory, not any other type of memory).

I don't have AD/HD (apparently), but I know working memory problems is a type of executive function, which people with AD/HD usually lack, which is why professionals are starting to see it as a LD, instead of something on its own. This is a good thing for people in Ontario, Canada, since it's hard to get accommodations when you just have AD/HD since to them medication is a "cure". Unless they have a co-morbid LD or severe behaviour problems, they won't be able to get accommodations. I'm sorry, I just realized I went off topic.

Processing speed may be associated with AD/HD, but I know that carelessness when doing stuff would lower the processing speed score (which the psychologist made notes on about my carelessness).
That processing speed score was very high, considering your supposed carelessness. Do you remember what the sub-test scores were (matrix reasoning, digit span, information, etc.)?
