Wen I left school I had no qualifications whatsoever, I had not been able to learn a thing in the classrooms even though I am not totally stupid. I only seem to be able to retain fragments of information which very rarely connect with others. 

This has come up again for me because my lifelong love of science has decided me to study the subject and try for a qualification of some sort, my initiall efforts take me right back to school days, I can absorb just so much them everything else gets scrambled and nothing sticks any more

Does anyone else have similar experience of learning? Did you find a way of overcoming any difficulties you may have had?

I would be glad to hear from anybody about this.

    Many people with ASD have dyslexia too. Dyslexia can cause a lot of challenges with memory retention. Perhaps this could be the cause? I struggle teriibly with my memory but have managaed to gain a masters degree - I've learnt to avoid exam based courses.
