| I have always wondered if I have epilepsy. I get these frozen eye stare things that happen. They last a couple seconds. They happen a lot when I am overwhelmed or when I look at some patterns or even the slits in blinds sometimes. |

| Do you mean you think concretely or learn concretely? I need concrete to learn because inside my head is so wild and crazy abstract. I usually see my abstract learner peers as having a lot of holes that they just pretend to fill in. I am usually slower to process which comes across to them as "... |
