Does this sound like a learning disability?

[Anonymous]

Trouble memorizing things
Work at a slow pace (unless I 100% know I'm doing) (recently quit my job bc of this. My boss and others were getting agitated that I couldn’t keep up)
Trouble following directions (inability to fully comprehend what's being said to be as its being said. Often need to ask to repeat task (s))
I remember when I went to school in the 90s, often having to reread stuff multiple times before beginning to understand any of it and even then what I understood was shaky at best. Today for example I'm reading a manual on how to program a security keypad. I know that it is easy stuff to do but reading the instructions reads like a foreign language to me. I know if I were shown how to do it, it'd be super easy.
Math/Algebra was a huge issue for me. Failed Algebra 1 several times. Afterschool tutoring didn't really help me understand it either.

The symptoms you have described could be indicative of a learning disability, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or ADHD. Difficulty with memorization, slow work pace, trouble following directions, and struggles with math and algebra are all common signs of learning disabilities. It's important to note, however, that only a qualified professional, such as an educational psychologist, can diagnose a learning disability.

If you suspect that you may have a learning disability, it's important to seek out a diagnosis and appropriate support. This could include accommodations at work or school, specialized tutoring or coaching, or assistive technology. A diagnosis can also help you understand your strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies to help you succeed in academic and professional settings.

Consider reaching out to a healthcare professional or educational psychologist for an evaluation. They can help you determine whether you have a learning disability and what kind of support you may need.

Reads like you may have an iron deficiency and poor education.

I am anemic lol … how did you know?

My mom put me in a private school but it was hard. I was an C student.

probably not a learning disability. You just didn't get gifted the "A" brain. We aren't all of equal intelligence.

Yeah but I am artistic and I like learning things that interest me

pretty much everyone likes learning things they are interested in. Everything is just going to be a bit harder. It's not that bad... you will probably just have to try harder for the same results. Maybe you can compensate by having a better work ethic than everyone else.

It’s hard to have a harder work ethic when it takes you a minute to get things. That’s why I stopped working at the bakery after 3/4 weeks. My boss said I was doing good in the beginning but then she said I needed to step it up and I was “going slow”.. so I quit before she fired me bc I could feel frustration and rudeness. It was just a lot to learn and remember and if I’m rushing I make mistakes and I can’t truly retain the info esp. after a few weeks.
