Subject: Hi! I am Catherine and have a LD
hi! im catherine. i just wanted to introduce myself. i have been trying to sign up on this site forever. but everytime i guess it went to spam and i didnt check spam or even thought to. i have a learning disability. it was called perceptually imparied than auditory processing disorder/ have trouble reading and understanding what im reading/mathematics and now its called specific learning disability. i just graduated high school in 2007. in high school they pushed me through the school and didnt really care i was struggling. i struggled in regular ed and some what of special ed classes. i tried college one class and i think i passed because everything was on computers. i did try reading but it was too hard to do two. i can spell words i know. i dont know big words that everyone else knows. i have a small vocabulary. sometimes i wish i could meet someone else who has a ld and talk to them because i wanna know how they feel every day and stuff. i struggle when people talk to me and i cant understand them. some people think i understand them but i really dont. and when i read i just keep reading pretending i understood what i read but really didnt. or i read the same sentance like 100 times. i dunno just some thing i do. welll thats me in a nutshell.

Hello Catherine,
You may want to consider contacting your state's chapter of the Learning Disability Association. They have state groups and may be able to direct you to support groups in your area. You can find your state's listing here:

I hope this helps.
