Sorry FairyUK24 didn't mean to be unkind but I guess I was, I too have been wondering lately if this has been my problem, all my school reports went thus, really tries and is very willing,but lacks ability to concentrate, organise thoughts etc. handwriting appalling. I must have had over 100 driving lessons but still can not drive, cannot rote learn, and can not keep my flat in order no matter how hard I try, was always called clumsy and messy could never do aerobic classes or learn dance steps. Absolutely hated the hookie pookie or any such other class thing as a child am ,left handed and clumsy always spill food down my clothes, cannot read maps or tell right from left, dread anyone asking me directions as I can not explain how to get from a-b but can get there on my own. Usually could get to the right conclusions in quatratic equations, theorems and chemical titration just don't ask me to explain the steps I took to get there. Can't hop well or skip. However I've done ok and am pretty happy but things looking back could have been a lot easier. So the answer is I don't know and a diagnosis doesn't neccessarily make things easier and sorry again if I offended.
