I had a neuropsych evaluation at the end of a bad relapse a few years ago.
I was NOT happy with the psych's comments, but the actual testing results spoke for themselves and confirmed what I was telling my then neuro.
I was in big trouble as far as recognition, organization, memory, concentration, retention and attention.
The test results don't lie. It was bad enough that I could have applied for SSDI and got it on the first try!
Fortunately, I recovered most of it or learned to (i am word searching here for the correct word! Is it cope or substitute or relearned or what???) for the rest of what I lost.

SEE?

COMPENSATE!!
