Well anyway, now there going to get me help for these difficulties and I will have to look for another course the issue with me all the courses that are doable I think are boring and awful. So I'll have to talk to a careers advisor again and then get help with centrelink etc. I'm going to get an occupational therapist and another service to help me they also want me to engage with neami to go to groups with people they teach cooking skills. However, I'm not sure how thats gonna go for my busy schedule. Anyway, the psychologist just confirmed what I knew already nothing I heard today is a surprise. In saying that I'm relieved that I'm not just lazy but that there gonna help me.

I have verbal IQ in the gifted range and awful spatial IQ. I cannot manage street parking at all, can only park if there is no car in front or in the back, cannot park between two parked cars. Some other aspects of driving such as changing lanes on highways are very difficult for me so I avoid highways during rush hour, just never go. I can live with that because I do not have a difficult commute. Yes, IQ testing allowed me to attribute known difficulties to a particular neurological make-up (which is rare), so I felt grateful for it.
Of course it is good to know where things stand so that you can find workarounds and face your challenges head on.
