    I have CAPD also and remember feling the same thing. I got a FM Sytom in 6th grade and have had it since, its been very benifitcal.

     

    I still at times have the same problem of getting jokes or understanding why they're funny and I liked your peom, out of my friends none of them have CAPD so knowing that there's someone out there like me is cool.

     

    I to am also more visual then verbal I am looking at going for college for Art/Design.

    Did you go to college?

    I wounder what is helpful for getting through College.
