@bushi2020 Not at all.
Have you never heard that the brain is "plastic"? Meaning that at any age it is possible for the brain to grow and change.
Try:-
audio - Moheb Costandi, "Neuroplasticity"
books:
Norman Doige, "The Brain that Changes Itself: stories of personal triumph from the frontiers of brain science"
John B. Arden, "Rewire Your Brain"
Caroline WIlliams, "My Plastic Brain; one woman's yearlong journey to discover if science can improve her brain"
It takes a mix of personalised brain training exercises, good diet, exercise, and good sleep.
Things like dyslexia, ADHD and autism spectrum can all be greatly assisted with the right kinds of specialist therapy.
Dyslexia comes in many forms, and each can have different strategies. Options:
- divide the text into lines and phrases of ten words or less,
- use a blank card under the text-line to help the ye keep its place,
- use an app to read the text allow and to take dictation
- buy a customised keyboard which enables you to type the letters and numerals the way your brain recognises them.
ADHD - combination of ritalin, plus using technology and other strategies to manage time, working memory, spatial organisation, priorities, decision making, impulse control, thinking and communication skills, and focus.
Autism spectrum - personalised professional assistance to develop coping strategies, social skills, and methods for self-soothing.
Honestly, no one is ever too old to improve whatever issues they face.
The idea that "old dogs can't learn new tricks" simply isn't true. Never was. People imagined it for so many years that they just never tried to teach old animals; it became a self-fulfilling idea - but it was nonsense.
We now have abundant proof that learning and personal growth is a lifelong process.
