Yes I have a learning disability-nonverbal learning disorder-I have pretty severe impairments in spatial relations which also affects math skills. I relate to what you said OP sometimes the LD can be more frustrating than my ASD symptoms- people don't understand why I can't do the simplest little things like cutting paper in a strait line - visual/spatial perception problem. Anyway I would be interested in a group for adults with LD's.

ADHD for me, if that's one of them.

ADHD, if you consider that one of the learning disabilities. And people keep asking if I'm dyslexic most of the times I read out loud. So maybe that too.

I was identified with having Learning Disabilities since Kindergarten. The Asperger's diagnosis didn't even come until well into my 20s.

No. Don't think they class Irlens Syndrome as a learning disability?

Yes I had a tutor for math in early high school, and testing has revealed that I have visual spatial difficulties. My symptoms seem to point to a non-verbal learning disorder and I may have Asperger's Syndrome or PDD-NOS.

It's entirely possible that I have a math-related LD that I was never diagnosed as having in childhood.
