I never did well in school. I use to study for hours and still fail tests. This was even with tutoring. I did poorly in reading comprehension and math tests.
I was told by teachers that I had a learning disability in middle school and High School but never got the help.
I did pass high school with mostly C average with a few D in math, English. What made me get a C in classes like Science was failing most of the tests but doing much extra credit. I even cheated on my midterms my junior year which was easy taking the make up tests by myself using my notes, textbooks and felt no guilt.
In college with D's, F's. Even in an world music class which I loved, took again in the summer, teacher had pity on my and gave me a D. I also had a bunch of incompletes I was told again I had a learning disability and was recommended by the dean to drop out After dropping out that was the end of my higher education.
Many years now with not working I still have much difficulty comprehension. I can read something and forget most of it minutes later.
I am asking because I have ASD traits even told I have highly functioning Autism but I found nothing relating to a learning disability.
