Allow me introduce myself

Greetings everyone!

I don't feel comfortable in revealing my real name over the internet until I really get to know and trust someone. But I orginally found this forum whilst searching for job interview advice and ended up checking out many of the great threads that are on here. It seems like a friendly community which is why I decided to join. Slight smile

Anyway, at the age of (I think) 5, I was diagnosed with Semantic Pragmatic Disorder. Whilst it has mellowed a lot as I have gotten older, I do occasionally still have difficulty with verbal comprehension particularly with following instructions and staying on track with long conversations. My reading comprehension is fine though, and I therefore prefer to have instructions that are written down. However, when I was at school, reading comprehension is something which I greatly struggled with and I hated English lessons for that reason. 

Whilst from time to time, my SPD can be a little frustrating, I generally don't dwell on it as I realise that every human being on the planet has their imperfections and that I have many positives in other areas. And so do you. Slight smile

  • Nice to meet you, Catlady!

    I love cats but unfortunately I don't have one, as we have a dog. I'd love to have a cat someday because I think that they would suit my personality better than a dog. I really like Siamese cats but the breed doesn't matter too much and I'd like to adopt in the future.
