Hello. Thank you for your reply.

As I said, I am a chemistry graduate student with 3 learning disabilites. I want to be able to understand why I can get through chemistry, partcularly organic, and not some type of math class (for instance). On this note, I understand that I can not have a basis set of myself alone. Therefore, I would somehow need to be able to contact other students in the beginnings of my shoes. I know that there are no other graduate students in chemistry who are also LD.

Elizabeth goes on and on when she talks, and people have a hard time understanding her. Her family usually tells her, “You’re going on and on,” as a cue to stop talking. Elizabeth doesn’t get much work done in school. When she writes, she often leaves words out of sentences or fails to complete the sentences she starts. Her attention tends to wander.
