This is exactly how I describe my brain. It works well analytically and I can integrate information at a fairly deep level, but I can't learn anything novel, unless it has strong links to something I am already very familiar with and the topic has to hold my interest. Anything completely new? Forget about it. It slides off like eggs on teflon. Have me/cfs. It destroyed any hope of higher education. It's like acquired attention deficit disorder, in the extreme! Thank you for this great article, Bonnie. It helped me.
