What's wrong with my brain? I'm working on my bike and had to orient my wheels so the tires are pointing the right direction but my bike was upside down. I spend almost 2 minutes trying to think of what direction my wheel would be going and I couldn't do it. I had to flip my bike right side up to understand it. I'm not retarded I just get so frustrated when an object isn't oriented like normal. Am I screwed or would practicing IQ tests help improve my life?

>What's wrong with my brain?

Lots of possibilities. You write decently so probably not down's syndrome.

That leaves, in no particular order,

1. Neurodevelopmental disorders (autism, ADHD, etc)

2. Neurodegenerative diseases (alzheimer's, MS, etc)

3. Otherwise unspecified clinical conditions causing cognitive impairment such as severe allergies or (most rare) chronic infection.

>What's wrong with my brain?

Most likely given this website are neurodevelopmental disorders impacting your working memory. Lots of autists. Lots of ADHD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_ability#Spatial_working_memory

So talk to a doctor or psychiatrist and so forth and figure out why your spatial ability is trash. Some of the aforementioned causes are treatable or curable.

>Am I screwed or would practicing IQ tests help improve my life?

Might, might not. What you really need to do is find out why a critical part of your brain isn't functioning properly in case it's something serious.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but I also have early onset Alzheimer's in my family.

Hobys such as modeling, wood carving etc. Anything that trains your brain both in cordination, atention to detail, spatial perception.

Due to false assumptions about ADHD decades ago many people with ADHD as children where the condition reasserts in old age, or due to head trauma, are incorrectly diagnosed as having alzheimer's or signs of it. Either way almost all cases of alzheimer's are spontaneous (not familial), so unless you somehow don't know you're part of an extremely slim medical minority of less than 1% of alzheimer's cases I think you're safe.



If you were diagnosed with ADHD your spatial ability dysfunction explains your problem. I'm guessing you did not reliably continue medication? Even so you can be an unlucky minority where, even absent head trauma, your ADHD was so severe the synaptic plasticity in childhood with the medication wasn't enough. If you aren't on medication currently, it may be worth pursuing to see if that helps. Either way talk to your doctor, and most especially if this particular severity is new or you've suffered head trauma. I can only give vague suggestions and nothing I suggest should be taken as medical advice. The medical advice is "you need to talk to a doctor in person".

you're retarded, kys

I will also add that what we now know is that lack of certain vitamins and nutrients can cause severe brain fog and even depression. Drink more water and take your vitamins.

I wonder if a "youth" who steels bicycles has ever wondered about the direction the wheels of his stolen ride rotate in.

are you female?

spatial iq isnt a huge deal, op



now if your other forms of iq are low, you really should consider kys

No, I have very high verbal IQ quotient.
