Yes, I did at the request of another forumite who found it off topic. The gist of it was that a friend's son who was born without short-term memory to the point he can't copy a date or assignment off a white board, kept notes as he read of his questions. He then divided those questions into 3 categories ... those that he asked because he didn't remember what he had just read (or was impatient for what was coming), those questions that he could answer for himself as he mastered the material, and those questions that were questions he could not answer/needed to research to answer. He let his questions "age" as he figured out what category they were in. I suggested that if you did something similar, you might more easily master what you study rather than asking essentially the same question multiple times. He also stayed with one topic at a time rather than flitting from one topic to another as he found that was better at putting things into long term memory I thought some of his techniques might help you. He's now in his mid-fifties and has done well for himself. I was frustrated that this weekend had a spate of very similar questions so that I felt like I was answering the same question multiple times (genre resources) and that you hadn't thought about the issue long enough to really ask a meaningful question (activa tantum). I don't mind giving you the leeway necessary for you to succeed and I may be misjudging what you are doing, but it seems like you ask a question on the forums nearly as soon as it pops up, rather than methodically trying to find the answer yourself OR thinking it through enough to know why you have a question/what you really need to ask. I may be wrong as I'm going off my experience not yours.

Thanks MJ. I would love to discuss this further. <noted and removed to avoid spammers>I have a meeting with my cognition Dr on December 4 and a meeting with my therapist on December 13. If you would like to continue this I would love to chat via email (above).
