nervous disposition

He had a few days of fame. Who needs more?

Perhaps the poster realised he was getting nowhere?

I thought I was good at maths until I realised I was dysalgebraic (or whatever).

Can do a 2 liner but not a 2 pager.

That does not surprise me.

The OP has left I think? I can't click on his profile although it's blue.

I thought Trevor said he was 47, but could still be a student anyway.

A very funny age, Trevor, much given to introspection. Life is supposed to have begun 7 years ago but sometimes one is left wondering - why has nothing changed?

Jingle Surely you can't have both dyslexia and dyscalculia? Or do I mean dysalgebria?

roses, isn't there a danger that we'd all think we were on some sort of spectrum or other if we started reading up on it?

(To jingl, obviously!)

Can't remember. Anyway, I thought it was dyslexic you'd just become.

I think there are a lot of adults out there who were never diagnosed with autism/Aspergers and are somewhere on the spectrum.Reading up on it could help adults greatly.They would then know that far from being alone and feeling like an alien, there are lots of people out there who feel the same.If you can understand yourself, it brings about acceptance, and will help families. There are also groups to join.
I used to be able to do algebra, but have forgotten it entirely now !

I can add up quite quickly.

But I can't do algebra. Can anyone do algebra?

!!! I could be autistic!!!

Bit late to effing discover it now.

And an uncanny aptitude for role-playing - you'd be an asset to your local AmDram Society.

Joining a group putting on amateur theatricals would do wonders for your nerves, Trevor. You have a natural gift for thespianism and self-projection.

Trevor have you done any reading about Autism and Aspergers?You may be on the autistic spectrum. Autism can mean you are very shy and not too good with people around you, also good at maths.Look into this, because if it fits you, there is medication to help [Jingle has already mentioned it] and it would help your understanding of yourself.

your right Jingle.

I think you can attend college courses at any age. I may be wrong.

yes I am Tricia and I enjoy it very much in fact.

On another thread Trevor said he was a college student.

try reading the posts?

Trevor
20 yrs clean - I thought you were a college student?
Maybe a mature student.

Oops pardon me for asking jingl! Is anybody here an expert on alcohol and cannabis abuse then?

I made the mistake of trying to be like my dad and so I would try to put on this serious don't mess with me look
but that was just a Front Jingle
The truth was I was so shy and insecure behind it all...and very unhappy.
I think I learned too late that it is OK to be me nerves and all.
after all no one is perfect.
even the great jazz drummer buddy rich wore a wig to cover his baldness.
and when I think about that now I wonder why he didn't except his physical flaws and just carry on with his career rather than hiding it behind a wig?
I can only presume it was due to male pride or even a bit of shyness somewhere?

Well That's something I didn't know before
so thank you for enlightening me Jingle.
even now as I sit typing I can feel myself trembling.
and my head nodding as usual.
I think this is why I'm so sensitive and I worry what people will think of me if they notice me trembling?
Just seeing myself in the bathroom mirror everyday is painful.
the only thing I feel good about is that people say I look young for my age and That I'm cute ; 0 )
I just wish I didn't have this nervous problem and wasn't so shy.
