So I have ADHD. Had it for all of my life and even now in my adulthood. However, I'm not dyslexic....Or at least I don't think so. Okay, so I have this problem that when I read something and I have to recite it back to someone, I mess up the order in which I read it in. Such as, (The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy cow) vs (The brown cow jumped over the lazy fox....I don't always do that, but it happens often. I used to have math teachers ask why I added numbers that had nothing to do with the equation. And even when I talk normally and think of what I want to say it comes out backwards. Its really weird. A lot of times I get tongue tied and feel like I need to just stop talking for the rest of the day. Its honestly so embarassing and I feel so stupid.
First work on procedures. If something is likely to be important, write it down and work on the order. In terms of talking, part of success in life is talking about things you know. Watch the press conference, because Dr. Fauci knows his area, he appears knowledgeable while others with less knowledge of the subject matter may not. I worked to have my job deal with limited subject matter, and do the same type of issues over and other.
