Can someone please tell me why am I having difficulties retaining facts? I’m constantly struggle with school (college) and it’s becoming very frustrating. I’m considering dropping out and not deal it anymore, but I’m also not a quitter. What steps can I take to help myself overcome this huge obstacle? Is it stress related? Is it old age? (I’m 32 years old)

Thank you for your input

How did you folks do in elementary school and high school? It is very much discussed now in school but maybe not so much when you were kids. I sure can't diagnois over the web but many adults are first diagnoised with Adult Attention Deficit Disoder when they have children and their kids are identified with ADD or ADHD.
