I am also a teach of children who are like me. During my training at college I told of my class mates that I had a learning disability. She got my point. When I go to pay my rent and I can't find my check book, when I have to leave and the house and I can not find my keys anywhere. I really hate it when i find that I put ice cream in the refrigerator and lettus in the freezer.
People just understand.
You're right the same stuff happens to me too. I too have to search for car keys, house ect. And non-LD people always smile and say it happens to me too. Well its not the same for them as it is with us. At the end of the day when I am exhausted I often think it must be really nice, everything must be easy for them.
