Learning disability
Mon, 09/14/2015 - 16:40When I was 3-5 I had epilepsy but then have outgrew it before I hit 6 years old. I'm 39 year old male that was put up for adoption when I was a baby and have been in contact with my birth mother for last 2 years now. Once I started grade 1-12 I always had a learning disability and I still am unable to focus on my learning now. I was diagnosised with ADHD in 2002 and have been taking the max dosage for that. I also have dyslexia, tinnitis, a sniffing tic or ocd and pretty sure either Autism or Asberger. Now my birth mother doesn't think I have these issues and thinks I'm being negative when I tell her its hard for me to learn and talk to people in a conversation. She gets really mad at me for telling her about my issues. Did the Epilepsy have something to do with making me have these learning disabitities?
