Don't knock anecdote. Anecdote is very important in determining many psychological diagnoses these days. Many times, in determining autism in very young children, the observation of a child's play is an important component of the assessment.
Your anecdotal representation of why you are slow makes me understand the reasons for your slowness better. It just takes some time to gather your thoughts.
I'm a fast typist....but sometimes it takes me a while to compose a post. Sometimes, I have difficulty in organizing my thoughts.
As far as anecdotal things go, it's taken me over a year to grasp the basics of a video game described by one player on its forum as being so easy you could play it blindfolded using your tongue.
It's the only game I play and I play it daily but I'm just now beginning to get the hang of how to play it properly. And now that I'm getting a grasp, I see how extremely simple this stuff is and wonder why I didn't either understand the concepts or they just didn't register.
A lot of the stuff they talk bout on the forum is too complected for me to get, even though it's actually very simple stuff. But to me it's like rocket science. Plus I have an adult friend I've played it with the entire time, constantly walking me through everything like a tutor and I still didn't/don't get very basic instructions. He has to constantly repeat himself.
Then there's my cousin who's my age and has been working at a fast food drive through for a few months. And I asked him to show me what the job was like. So he set up a simulation of it and I couldn't handle it at all. Just taking food orders, pushing a few buttons and handling cash was way beyond my capabilities.
