In high school, I had a 4.0, but graduated from college with a 2.1. It took me 7 years to get a B.S. in Biology. When I interviewed with a doctor, he asked me if I'd ever been diagnosed with an LD because of my grades. Anyway, I can read and comprehend perfectly, but cannot retain a lot of memory of what I study. Procrastination is a way of life. It got me thinking: Do I have a LD that deals with memory? Everyday, I forget conversations, to do things that have to be done, sometimes miss deadlines, etc. Other times, I forget I told a person something and they remind me, and I don't remember telling them that. Just worried. Where can I see a list of LD's so that I can read about them?

Try www.schwablearning.org. It was started by Charles Schwab, who started the first discount brokerage, and who has dyslexia. It's possible you have a memory LD: it's not that uncommon. There are professionals who will help you with it. It's real, it's not just something that someone labels you with. Whether you're diagnosed or not, you do have a problem. Improving your study habits will help you a lot. You should also take a one-day class through www.franklincovey.com, which will help you get organized and pursue your goals.
Good luck.

Learning Disabilities as a compilation of educational labels and not necessarily physical conditions. However, some LD's have physical conditions associated. Some speculate early childhood brain trauma.. (Getting dropped on your head as a baby?")
Dyslexia is one the most prevalent forms of LD, associated with language comprehension. Often to the dyslexic words are a jumbled mass.

No one has it, unless someone tells it to him/her. Then it sticks to the person and he/she thinks... well I have learning disability... I don't know how to do it...
Work on yourself and do not listen to anyone. Be sure in yourself...
