Hi!
I sometimes experience what I think is a steep learning curve. This seems yo be common when you have ASD issues. On the other hand I know that many people with ASD issues learn really fast but I think that is when they are allowed to learn in their own way.
Can people with ASD learn like in the same way that "normal" people do?
I often really frustrated when it takes time to lean new things even when I can bevime good at something. I often refuse group learning as people often go too fast and never really focus on the basics long enough.
All I can say is that this is not just about motor skills which I have had difficulties with.

What can you say about this? And can this be assesed? Speacialists seem to miss this.

I'm just sorry you have to go through all of this. I have to admire the way you are able to explain your situation so well. I hope you find the answers & help you're looking for & need.

Not sure that specialists can address this because people with ASD have so many different ways it can effect them....not just one way. Maybe someone who works with ASD & LEARNING CHALLENGES may have enough diverse experience to know how to help.

My ex husband picked & chose what he wanted to learn. In college if he had no interest in the class or (in his terms) "thought he was smarter than the professor" he wouldn't bother with the class & just did the minimum to get through the class & that was pretty much how he lived life too. Each person with ASD is so different with different personalities, only someone specializing in learning issues might be able to help

I felt "stupid" in school because I struggled with auditory processing. I learn quickly but not by listening to an instructor standing at the front of the class lecturing about a boring subject. I learn by doing and reading books.

I remember a class in grade nine that made me wonder about my intelligence. The teacher told the class some riddles that we had to try to answer. I did not solve a single one because I could not understand what she was saying. Everyone else seemed to solve them. I left that class feeling very low.

High school was so boring and nearly pointless. University was very different. My grades went up 20%.

I found ways to work around my limitations such as recording lectures and comparing notes with other classmates.

I also have ASD.
