[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter was like this though I can’t recall her IQ. Once her slow processing issue was identified she was able to get extra time to take tests. She was also put on Ritalin and while we didn’t like the idea it did help her right through college. She has been off the meds for 7-10 years and she has been very successful in her career. She is very good with numbers and detail and that really helped her get her career launched and now she is in sales for a well known social media company.

When my DH saw her testing results he realized that he had had the exact same word processing problem but it was never diagnosed. He always struggled in school despite working hard. Yet he has been incredibly successful in business. He still can’t absorb lengthy written documents but his skills analyzing data and problem solving are remarkable. He is a voracious reader but he will never remember all of the detail. When my daughter realized her dad had had the same problem that relaxed her a bit given how successful he has been. [/quote]
