I have to have things in order from color. No two of the same colors can be touching. I don't like to listen to my teachers I have trouble learning. I get distracted very easy. Like if something colorful catches my eye I have to look at it for a few second. I don't spell well, thank the stars for spell check lol. I am very creative though. I write stories, that will one day soon be published. My friends say I have adhd and/or autism. Could they be right?

You don't have autism. You sound more like you have attention deficit disorder. You might just outgrow this disorder. My son had trouble concentrating when he was little. I got him video games to play and he could play for hours proving that he could concentrate. He's perfectly normal now and able to properly concentrate. I would suggest that you try to keep your attention on something that interests you so that you can "practice" concentrating. Just keep practicing. It may take a few months but you can keep it together and do much better. Listening to teachers is not easy. I did not care for school either but somehow got through it. Is there any way that you could be homeschooled instead of attending school? I homeschooled my son from age 12 on. He did remarkably well and learned all sorts of things he would never have learned in regular school.

I love school! I love to learn. English is my favorite thing. It's the only thing I can concentrate on. Sometimes I even can't listen to my boyfriend. What he says sometimes drifts in and out. It's pretty much like the only thing I learn well has to do with English. I do very well in spanish too.

That part sounds like a obsessive-compulsive personality problem. Do you tend to tear up and throw away homework papers that you've made mistakes on? Do you put books in ABC order by title or author?

I write stories, that will one day soon be published.

Why do you think they will get published?

Rosalie_16 · Nov 14, 2008, 07:40 PM

I have OCD, a light case of it and I know it.

Because my uncle is a publisher and he read some of my work and he said when I get it done he will publish it

What's a "light case"?

Will he market the stories too or just professionally bind them for you?

everything has to be in order, no mistakes on paper, no bent pages in books, things have to be clean.

If it really bothers you you could see your school counselor, or any counselor really about it. They know what's going on and would be able to help you figure it out and feel better.

I have the same issues as you and I am seeing someone now. I didn't want to go at first, but it's been a great decision and really helpful.
