Born With A Learning Disability or ADD?

Were you born with a learning disability or ADD? If so were you diagnosed early in life or were you diagnosed later in life? How do these diabilities affect your way of living?

I was born with a learning disability but was diagnosed later in life at the age of 14. My parents suspected that something wasn't right in my earlier stages of life, but they didn't know what it was up until now. Ever since then, things have been very difficult for me and sometimes people look at me stupid when I don't understand what they are talking about. It hurts because i think differently than others and I feel as if I'm being judged for all the wrong reasons.

`I've been diagnosed as having Dyslexia & ADHD sense I was in kindergarten. I also have Aspergers Syndrome but I could never get that officially diagnosed. I have a couple other disabilities as well that very few people understood. Lots of my classmates thought I was mentally retorted & I was a major target of bullies. My teahcers & paretns wer very frustated with me & thought I was lazy. I never had many friends & I also have anxiety issues. I had NO desire to go to college due to my poor academic ability & lots of other issues I had with school. I have a very hard time finding a job that I can do & I've been unemployed for 2 years. I'm still living with my parents because my only income is disability & I have no other options so I'm extremely dependent on my parents. It also makes it next to impossible for me to have a relationship because women think I'm a worthless loser who is not worth their time
