Omg yes and if I make a mistake when typing I either have to repeat it correctly (whether a letter, word, sentence, paragraph) or repeat the mistake before I correct it. For that reason it takes me forever and I get behind.
It feels amazing for people to get it! I also did a test today, I was pages off finishing. I knew that I had no time and I needed to hurry up but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t stop. I have a problem with reading because I will read over and over. It gets really bad in exams because I re-read the questions over and over. School are great for me. They have experience with kids that can’t read so I think that because I can read they are really trying to help me as though I can’t. This is really great because they acknowledge my problem!
When you think about it, it’s horrible to not be avle to do an exam normally.
OMG I thought this was just me. Misspellings bug me so much!!
Yes! I had an exam this morning and it took me (no joke) 15 minutes for ONE question just to write! I kept erasing and erasing! I even cried because I wanted to stop but I couldn’t. And the fact that someone can actually understand me is sooo amazing! Nobody understands when I tell them that. They go like: Well just don’t erase! They don’t know that it is not that easy. But YOU understand me! Thank you! ❤️❤️
Is it a compulsion to constantly test scenarios in your mind? I’m always testing what I like and I don’t stop until I feel like I get to the bottom of it but recently I feel like it’s getting nowhere and just making the thoughts seem more real.
I always have to check that everything is perfect and in order. I am afraid that my things will be ruined. When I am out I have to check clothes, shoes, bags, when I get home I do the same thing. Then I check the cabinets, the drawers, I have to check if something is missing and ask for help because it all seems to me messed up. Does anyone do this?
My only task at the moment is to write an essay for my university course. A never ending cycle of rewriting, rethinking, restarting. I desperately want to work through the noise and finish. Any tips from fellow students would be most appreciated.
