Memory is a big problem. I have never been able to remember the alphabet pass P and each time I need to know of a litter I much say the whole alphabet to find it. Also I can't tell you what letter is next to the other one with out saying the whole thing again.
Same with math. I could only go as far as 5 or 6 times each other.
Since I am 62 now and do not need to use multiplication table to do simple math. I just us a calculator. It still is a drag because every thing I do takes me so much longer.
Just thought I would share that with you.
I used a spell checker but this still could have problems.
Linda

Hi, I relate 100 percent. Even though I am older this was my problem life-long. I do not know your age, but I do know that problem drove me round the bend at 20, 30 40 and beyond. Now I can blame it on my age because all my peers are like me. I wish I had an answer for you. When I was younger, I used to explain that I was challenged. That made it worse as I was perceived as being developmentally delayed as some of us are. I can read a book and enjoy it- but I can not tell you the author or most of the names unless the book is in front of me so I can't really talk about it with others unless I want to acknowledge I don't recall names. This doesn't help you, I'm sure, but I wanted to say this is a common problem with many.
