With out head phones I can not read, write, or hold a conversation. I use to need music to do school work. As of right now I have headphones on and playing from my speaker. When I do not have headphones on I can not read or write coherently. We keep music on so I am able to follow conversations, mostly. Does anyone else have this issue? I've resorted to using headphones in therapy to focus me. What is this and what other strategies are there? I would like to one day go back to school but I can't like this.

This is not just a current problem this has been an ongoing problem since childhood. My first psychiatrist wanted me tested for a learning disability but she was shooting in the dark with me.
