Among other things I am a scout leader. and we teach our scout with Learning by doing ,and the results are secondary its in the doing where the learning occurs. And it works for me too
I remember when I was kid I was given Ritalin for me being "hyper". My mother took me off it because she thought I was not the same. I sometimes wonder what my life would have been if she kept me on .I also had problems doing homework (still do ) and also a tough match in Trivial pursuit.
then there are the baby steps to get things done.these work for me too.
peace

I think it could be that with ADHD and Dyslexia that we may find unique ways to arrive at conclusions to problems that others just could not see. I know for me that is what happens. I see things in a different way and people say to me "I never thought of it that way!" But for me it is so natural like that answer was right there you just had to look at it from another perspective.

For example with your learning question, we can look at learning from the point of a progressive time perspective as all people have to start out from ignorance and learn to get to where they want to be.

I like looking at it from a holistic time perspective that what is being learned, being taught, and is mastered, is all the same thing it is just different in perspective. At one perspective it is unknown and is being learned, at another perspective it is well known and is being taught to someone wanting to learn it. But another perspective it is mastered it has been learned and has been applied and taught for many years.

If I shift in my brain the perspective from unknown to known from beginner to master I as well change my experience of what I am trying to learn. I think of someone that knows this subject well and think there is no separation if he knows this, I as well know it. He is using a different part of his brain than I am I just need to shift what part of my brain I am using and I have that ability and understanding.

If we think like those we want to learn from we know like those that we want to learn from.

Well for me I need to understand to learn. I am not the type to learn stuff by heart. Once I see the logic and how it all fits in together then I learn it. And this apply to all things in life even to peoples way of thinking ,way of acting, way of being ,way of feeling way and of interacting.
If you learn stuff by heart many years later it does not mean you will remember when you need it. But if you learn it because you understand and know how it all fits in when you need it all the pieces will fall in place.
So experience and enjoy.

Can you ride a Bicycle, if so, then you can learn to do anything you want to learn, because as you know you have to learn to ride the Bicycle in a very specific way to learn to ride it by your self? So, in essence you have to learn to do things in a specific way to learn it!
