There are very few things that I cannot get done one way or the other. These work-arounds and other accommodations allow me to have a high level of functioning. The struggles that persist have given me a new understanding of the day to day struggles of many people in our society.
Eddy, What are you biggest struggles? Maybe we can help you find ways of getting past these struggles. I think this is the strongest value of this forum.

Oh, my biggest struggle is probably my goddamn vision. I mean, my memory and concentration is bad but I can practice that those. I've been trying to keep myself sharp with memory games and taking moments out of the day (every hour or so) to recall everything that occurred before then.
But my vision, not being able to read anything directly or pick up on details out of my center of vision. I use to draw, I use to be incredibly visual. Being limited to center of view is a little debilitating. The sensitivity to light is bothersome as well. Lately I've been going "screw it" and trying to operate around this blurry view. Maybe hoping that somehow this "exercise" will strengthen my vision. It probably won't, but it'll probably help me become more accommodated.
