Fluther seems to have attracted many different people over the years with one thing in common - intelligence - at least those who've stayed a while - but is there anyone here who would like to admit to being "slow" or different?

I know it’s a bit wild, out there, personal question – it may raise an eyebrow or even get edited, however, my son has been diagnosed by two different specialists – and has gotten private tutoring from a third (prior to being diagnosed – he received help in certain language skills).

She called him a bit slow.

I don’t want to go into this now – maybe at a future time. Perhaps after some responses.

Have you, or someone very close to you, ever been called “slow”? How did you feel? Do you agree with this? If you do – do you think you are at a disadvantage of some sort in this society?

If you live in New York, you need not reply (LOL – because it’s the fastest craziest place anywhere that I know of – if you can make it there you can make it anywhere – and it’s the place so nice, they named it twice.)

So… slow?

Apologies in advance. Sensitive types need not respond nor PM me, thanks.
