Any solutions?!
Question:
Any solutions?
I just turned 22 and have been diagnosed with a learning disability since I was a little kid. I figured that as time went by I would eventually out grow it and become a "normal adult". Well it hasn't quite played out as I planned. I'm currently enrolled at Oregon State University but I'm having a very tough time as I struggle greatly in memory, SPELLING, and communication. It is really starting to pull me down. I come from a very successfully family and I'm VERY motivated. It's so hard when I can't get a basic job because of my awfully communication skills and poor writing ability. I feel like I'm letting my family down and more importantly MYSELF. If anyone has been in the same boat as me or has a good knowledge on adult learning disability please provide information on how I can go about overcoming this monster. Thanks

I thank those who have provided there insight on what to do. To Kyles comment, the main thing that has kept me alive is my support system, my family is very supportive and understands the situation I'm in as my older brother is also struggling (not as bad). I can honestly say that I would not be here today if it wasn't for this support system. None the less I Will try to support myself more and take it one step at a time.
