[QUOTE="Malika, post: 429788, member: 11227"] I hope my comments were not taken as some implied criticism of Mysti for getting a diagnosis! Not at all... She is just being a good parent. But I am intrigued by this, nonetheless, and wondering whether it is a reflection of a change in educational practices and "fashions" rather than an inherent "condition", if you see what I mean. When I say I could not do science, I mean I really could not do it or understand it at any level, particularly physics and chemistry, not just that I wasn't very good at it... In the school I was at you had to take a science subject for 'O' levels - external exams taken at 16 - and I got an "unclassified" in the general science I took. So bad that they couldn't even classify it! So does that mean that today I and the other "science duds" would be classified with a learning disorder? This is fascinating to me... I have sometimes said, jokingly, my brain just does not work in the right way to understand scientific concepts. Maybe there is more than a joke to it! [/QUOTE]
