As a child I was placed in certain classes because of my attention span and my ability to process the written word. For example, I could not sit still for very long and I was what is now described as dyslexic. Of course, at the time no one knew that I had an Adhd Symptom And Sign so they just lumped me into classes for people who were mentally challenged. Granted, I was challenged and I needed help but unfortunately the help was not geared for my problems. Now as an adult I am seeking help for the dyslexia and a more specific cure.
