This is interesting.
When I was a kid, I was found to be deaf. But after getting hearing aids, I would still ingore others calling my name. On several of my reports, the teacher said that when prompted (after ignoring them calling me), I could tell them exactly how many times that they called me from across the room.
A good example of ignoring the envirement.
Did you have negative feelings about this or
neutral ones.
Nuetral for me. I didn't particulary care to be distracted from what I was doing, but the punishment was normally getting put into a corner by myself, which was rather ineffective.

Other problems were primarily with handwriting, organization, and rote memory.
Handwriting is most persons curse.
Organizational skills can vary....How bad in
organizing are you?
Rote memory? Isn't that repeating things Heard?
If so, would you say that is how most kids learn?
I don't claim to be a rote memory expert of any
kind...
Organization? You might remember my room and car. piles of stuff everywhere, no "on the fly" ablity to put things in the right place the first time around for me.
Rote memory is remebering sets of unrelated items, particulary the alphabet. This was a problem in both verbal(spoken) and non-verbal(written) rote memory. Non-rote memory is being able to understand a concept and repeat it afterwards (Such as the cause of the civil war, why it happened and what caused it)

It bothers me that I had to go through so much before anyone realized something was not entirely ok. I wonder if I got along a little too well with my teachers, because they all thought I was putting on a act of sorts and trying to play a "game".
Why?
They thought I was playing a game because in some areas I was basically the perfect student, and in other areas (rote) I would not be able to do anything. Also, the fact that I ignored them when they called me is another factor, plus the fact that when I did involved with them I got along with them so well. Frankly, I was something of a paradox to them, and they thought it was a giant act of sorts.
