[QUOTE=rmschaver;956662]I do this often. In my line of work I used to work with many lines of logic and nested logic programming. I find I can no longer keep these operations and their expected results in focus. It is just too much. The neuro-psych explained it this way. Because of my processing speed deficits even though I may read, hear or visually take it in, bits of info just can not make it into short term memory. When that happens I just stop or sit there like my brain is grinding away with out that crucial bit of info. His recommendation is to slow down and only do one thing at a time. Looks like multitasking is not an option for me.[/QUOTE

I find exactly the same, even the my role in IT used to involve a lot of complex technical, business and legal understanding, post accident I find even following a simple recipe difficult. I can read the words, but it will take me many rereads to get the gist of what I am suposed to do.

And for multitasking forget it - can't cope with more than one thing at a time or be interupted
