I can totally relate to with everything that the person before me said, but there a few things I would like to add...
One of my biggest problems is with writing. I describe my troubles a being like having the name of an actor on the tip of your tung and not being able to think of his name, yet you can picture his face so clearly, you just can't think of his name. This is a constant struggle for me. I very clearly know what I want to say, yet I can't put my thoughts together to get it out. Worse is that even though the thought or concept is clear in my head, when a try to get help from a writing tutor I can't express myself well enough for them to understand what it is that i am trying say in my writing, and this just gets me so frustrated and sad, because I feel like they doubt that I do in fact know the mate real. Although, I have no difficulty in agreeing or disagreeing with a statement that somebody else makes regarding the subject, I just can't seam to write or verbalized it myself.
Another thing I struggle with is not having learned phonemic awareness. I got very limited services in elementary school, and my parents stopped all services before going into middle school. I am now 36 and in school to become a special education teacher, and I get so embarist when my professors speak so matter-of-factly about phonics and its components, because I'm the only one in a room full of pre-service educators that just doesn't understand what the professor is talking about. I'm trying to teach myself, but all the tools I have found are geared towards children, and not adults- who need to learn using nonsense words or words they aren't yet familiar with. Even if I did find some software or something, I dont know when I would practice it, as I always struggling to stay caught up with my assignments. I feel like I will never make it to the finish line.
