what are the more specific things if you dont have ADHD then? hope thats ok to ask!

yes thats fine, i kinda intended to imply it in my post but forgot! i basically didnt want to trauma dump in relation to the emotion and trauma focused part of the test, obvs that was faaar more detailed and personal.

but yes for the learning part. basically everything was on a scale. memory (includes long term, short term, immediate etc), math, reading comp, listening comp, speed processing (and i feel like a few more but they scored average so). i cant recal the exact numbers where so take it loosely-- the scale was 1-100 with 35-65 being average (tests done on many people that add up to the expected results for people my age). above 65 being above average and of course below 35 is below average.

my only above average result was speed processing as i think i mentioned. it was kind of around ~85? cool, i enjoyed those tests the most lol they were fun puzzle i did at quick as possible. some other normal stuff, no big deal. i think i mentioned it too but the big ones that impact all my learning are memory, read and listening comprehension, and math (yes its just math on its own) where the bad ones. I am talking like scored 2-6 on all four- with math being the lowest one.

which were tested through a series of memory tests (looking at shapes and drawing them when the image is taken away, redrawing that again after two more tests w no ref, recounting that image again after a few more tests and drawing it. recounting back information i hear or see. things like that- which overlap w the others at times) reading related tests (reading out loud, reading and recounting information, reading and answering questions, etc), listening tests (listening to speech and repeating it outloud, stating definitions of words after the word is said, listening to stories and recounting information/details, etc) and math expected work you'd see in school (starting at the lowest levels like addition/subtraction/multiplication/division, word problems- seeing how far you can go (i did not go far lmao)).

so, with that in mind. the learning disability diagnosis is not specific (i am not done testing too!!) right now so i cant explain that by label other than pointing at the above lol. if you have been a reader of my posts you may recall how much i fuck up my typing and sentences. this doesnt fit the criteria for dsylexia or dsygraphia shockingly- i have a bundle of symptoms from both, but with very serious memory issues, it just doesnt actually end up being enough of a focus on those issues to make it that. but i definitely have dyscalculia lol!

I don’t understand how the writing of this show works. Rosie and Jack were clearly friends and that was never progressed. Elizabeth can actually teach to complex issues like dsylexia and all we can get now are preachy miss teacher sermons. Henry was so gritty and gutsy and bad and now he’s a hollow shell of himself. I don’t understand how theirbwriting rooms work. I expect very little from the show but seeing earlier seasons when the writing was better makes me wonder where the wheels fell off.

I think the writing is better now actually.  There were so many issues in earlier seasons with them dropping things that should have been important and should have been continued.  Stories that deserved more time got very little.  I feel that happens less now and I’m not as bothered by how things are going like I used to be.

I really disagree about Henry.  He’s evolved.  He’s tried to move on from how he used to be and I think the writers have done a particularly good job with his arc and it’s left us wondering what might be ahead for him.  Will he revert back to how he used to be?  He’s still a very complex character.

At the end of the day, we all see the show differently.  We all like or dislike different aspects of it.  Hopefully you’re still enjoying it for what it is now.

Dear Cap. I've got a question about dyslexia. As a teacher, are you able to tell if someone has dyslexia? Do you maybe have it yourself? Ive never been tested for it, but since i got to high school my polish, spanish and russian teachers asked if i have dyslexia, one of them even just said that i have it while showing me my test. i read about it & it could be true, but how does a teacher can tell? its been a problem for me for a very long time, just now I know how to extacly name it..

Hi love! I don’t have dsylexia myself, but many of my best students and best professors do! Remember I teach college, so the system of disclosing things to professors is different than it is in K-12, so I don’t always know students have it unless they tell me; but sometimes, it’s apparent from the particular type of struggles a student has with reading or with writing. Getting tested for it is the best way to figure out what skill sets and exercises are best for you to work on: either way, you’re amazing and you’ve got this. I’m so proud of you for pursuing the knowledge you need: you’re fantastic
