Are you the type to ever wonder what it’s like to be someone else? See out into this world through different eye’s? Maybe you have thought that it must be the same for all of us. That human is human, and the only thing changing the view is someone’s height and vision.

But from my own life, I can say that’s wrong.

The way our individual brains analyse every moment differently makes that so.

The most obvious way to see this, is by our individual physiological and psychological development.

Does your brain match the standard for your chornological age?

Or, if you are still in school; Do you average around a 75%?

And not ironically at all, 75% of Canada does.

So most likely, you the random tumblr, are this average. The Canadian government made this so.

So this average person, with an average physiological and psychological development, how do they see the world?

This world is essentially designed for you, how do you see it?

Does it ever change? Or does it always remain the same.

Being it the same, in Classical Mechanics, is called a single variable point.

This average person is a point on a plane, and it’s single variable doesn’t change.

But this physics concept aside, we all know in this world, nothing is singular or not in constant change.

So everyone is different, and we all see this world of our’s differently.

But most likely our next questions are: How do we see this world differently, and to what varying degree?

Does a Pad Thai with lots of chopped peanuts look as delicious to an individual with a nut allergy as it does to a person without this allergy?

Do you miss a piece of information someone said to you because you had sliced your finger at work and were focused on the throbbing digit?

Or maybe a 4th grader with ADD, who can’t keep up in math class with the other children, and is becoming increasing angry, depressed with a feeling of low self worth see’s it differently than an A student?

Each example shows a varying outlook individuals everyday around the world see and feel.

Also, each example shows an impairment.

That average, that Cartesian plane, just engaged several new variables. You can label this graph; The Real World.

And hopefully, you also realized the varying degree’s those impairment’s had on those individuals.

The nut allergy, the individual had for the Pad Thai changing the way they think, see and feel about food; in particular, foods containing nuts.

I consider this a partial perminent impairment.

Jullian nearly chopping his finger off and screaming profanity in tagalog whilst running through the Ajax Kelsey’s at top pinoy speed; his ability to sit down and do a difficult algebra question would have been severly impaired, clearly.

A complete temporary impaiment from his normative though process and ability to concentrate.

And that 4th grader, with the learning disibility, this can affect every aspect of their life, for the rest of their life.

The individual with the nut allergy avoids foods with nuts, but viewing other foods similarily to someone without this allergy. Jullian has a complete impairment in thought to anything other than his finger in the seconds following the digits slashing. In a week, this variable will no longer present a complete impairment; he might just be more careful for a little while. Which an additional variable to this event; but maybe a good one (hardwired into the human psyche not to enjoy injury).

But what about this student with the ADD?

Is their outlook on this world forever different from someone without ADD in all aspects for the entirety of their lives?

Yea, it is.

As a person with ADD and two other diagnosed learning disabilites, I know it is.

Most people who I talk to about ADD and other learning disibilities say “Ooh… that’s just an overdiagnosed bunch of crap…. kid’s just lazy.” or ” yea… I think most of the world has ADD now…  cause of all the hormones in meat/bad education system/etc”. It can really be frustrating.

When I was a child, I was tested many different ways for many different learning disabilities. I was also given a test to see what my intelligence quotient was.

I was told that I had a gifted I.Q., but because of my learning disabilities, I would forever struggle in academics.

And I did struggle, and I always have.

I was frowned upon by teachers who were too arrogant to understand. Pushed aside by peers for not being at least equal.

And even by my own parents, who just think I am an underachiever, without a spark to advance.

I have to take ADD medication just to stay focused long enough to do any school work.

It takes me sometimes twice as long, especially with Adderall, because of my ADD and the drugs effects.

But I can say right now, even though most people don’t, and won’t ever understand what it is like to be me, and see the world through my eye’s; I wouldn’t change it for anything. I wouldn’t want to just be that average; that 75%. Ever.

Why wouldn’t I want a shot at a life without ADD?

Because even though I may have these learning disabilties, I still have much more than that single variable. It may take me longer, but I will always get there. And because of what I was given, I will be also surpassing that 75% the rest of my life as well.

I suppose there is also a bias. This is after all, all I have ever known. But just from my expierence.

And now I’m in withdrawl.

And now my skin is peeling.
