    I thought that cleared up after treatment with Doctors? Educate me here. I know as with drugs it can cause development issues. But not major?

      It has affected my learning abilites and my speech im 18 the way that it is diffrent for me than others is that i have to focus and study more to understand certain topics i think the way the community can help is by not judging and support and just look at me and anyothers like there selfs

      Yes, I agree, accepting other just the way they are and LOVING their differences, instead of judging.  

      I'm glad you came here. I too had lots of troubles in school and work because of my learning disAbilities. Do you have good support at home and with friends?

      I had undiagnosed Celiac disease. I was told my whole life that I was "lazy" and "not trying". Teachers would be so frustrated with me. They told my folks I was not trying and was lazy so they were abusve to me. I was put in Special Education, it was like a jail. It was traumatizing.

      I have trouble reading, i have 3 forms of dislexia couldnt do math if my life depended on it.  I also have traumatic brain injury when I was kicked unconcious for 4 hours and was never taken to the doc. and I was nearly drowned.  Lost some oxigen. and much more. 

      I did got ot college and had a lot of help, but by then it was too late, the other disease were starting to kick in but I didn't know it. I knew I was exuasted but kept blaming myself.

       had dead end jobs my whole life because I couldn't do the jobs. I get aggitated/overwelmed very easliy too.   It is hard life when you can't keep up with everyone. There is a lot more support out there now. I hope you have it better. hugz
