@nus I was diagnosed with (which I guess was then) when I was about 9, so, the late 70s.

My doctor told my guardians to lock me out of the house from 8am to 9pm and give me a slap if I played up too much.

Very - But I don't think I'd change that! It certainly made be very independant.

I didn't learn how to learn until I was about 22 and found that "teacher who changes your life" but, I still managed to scrape through a Degree and a Masters before that.
