guess what I found out today!
I am smart.
I'm also very slow, distractible, and depressed.
there is actually a 45 point gap in my IQ between my ability to think and my ability to do. when you think about it, that's pretty impressive.
I've got a laundry list of suggestions for mitigation and coping, but there's really no way to get better. over time, I'll naturally learn to deal with my deficiencies, but my brain isn't going to heal.
overall, the report was extremely validating. I knew I had trouble processing, and it is helpful to know that not only is it real, but it's a consistent diagnosis with a person with a history of transient ischemic attacks.
tomorrow I'm going to take a vocational test.
onward!
