Guys am I retarded or not. I'm fairly smart when it comes to abstract stuff. But when it comes to practice, I get into these difficult-to-end obsessive loops. This also happens when I'm trying to understand something fairly new or difficult. I get stuck within a certain thought process and when shown the answer I see how i could've gotten out of that thought process. I'm not easily able to jump in and out of different thought processes easily. I've taken IQ tests that have placed me within 3sd above the mean something btn 137 and 145. I have an engineering degree with no job and I suspect I have ADHD and/or autism. Can anything be done about this?

This disability makes it very hard to learn new stuff although my enthusiasm about new knowledge never ends. It's like if stuff is not axiomatically presented then i become irritated, on the other I've no problem seeing the bigger picture. I've not taken any ADHD meds though, I tried Ritalin which took away most of my anxiety but failed to address the other performance issue.

lel this made me chuckle. AS much as i would love to call you a TARD, unfortunately you are probably not. You are able to think at a higher level to be able to analyse your mental stability and understand your learning habits, shitty or not. Break your bad learning habits and bring real topics to /sci next time kid.

That's why I'm here, I want to know if they can be broken with meds or I'll just end up spending my life trying to cope with this condition. FYI it took me two extra years to complete my degree and that's after my ignorant psych under-diagnosed me with major depressive disorder and because of this, recruiters wont touch my cv with a ten foot pole. On the other hand, that makes it demotivating to try to find a full-time job, but I know that without one, at least in my field I won't be motivated to seek therapy again. I'd like to hear from someone who at least has experienced something like this.

Im not psych major drugs work for some, but obviously not you. Lower standards about ten notches kid what the fuck, go wash some dishes or work at a pizza parlour and bring yourself down to ground level. It took me 8 years because after high school i didn't have a 100 dollars to my name. I didnt even step into a university until i was 23, I had to spend the first four ONLY working no school as a meat butcher. Become more confident with yourself and your condition and don't let it control what you want in life. Shit takes time grow a pair put your head down and keep workin on it so eventually you can do what you want in life. Shit you already did the hardest part that was getting the degree.

I think I do have autism based on how I think and how I relate to people and this is with 20+ year history of my life. But autism alone doesn't explain my inability to concentrate and my struggling performance even with things I'm interested in, so it must be comorbid with some other attention disability.

There's a lot of cognitive defects other than autism that fit into the spectrum nowadays. I'm no psychologist, either, and at the end of the day we can only guess. Until other anons that are psychologists can ask you the correct questions as well, we simply wouldn't even have enough data to correctly diagnose you.
