Hello - Can anybody help?

Hi to all,

Through much effort of trying to understand why I repeatidly struggle with certain aspects of life I have been informed that I am an Aspie with ADHD.

Having this information helps me to "put labels" on certain behaviours and difficulties, but it has yet to help me understand how I can overcome any difficulties I have.

Can anybody help? I was advised by a mental health nurse to continue researching Asperger Syndrome and ADHD as well as join support groups. So here I am taking those steps.

One area that is really affected in my concentration and memory. I am very absent minded and struggle with reading. It's hard to describe without waffling on, so I will refrain for now other than to say that doing this research through the written medium is very very difficult and draining, and it makes further education a nightmare. I have many many times failed to make much progression with further education. I'm now approaching my mid 30's and with my new found information about myself, wish to yet again try to further myself - hoping that there are people out there who can share their expereiences of how they overcame similar.

I just need help and advice really... it's hard to ask for and put into words. If anybody knows of any contacts for self help groups in the Plymouth, UK area, passing on those contact details would be one way of helping.

Thank you for your time. Steve
