It was a cool story. I had a similar condition I barely got to understand what teachers taught in class. And only with paying extra attention I could get half of what the teacher was saying in a class. So, I was on my own most of my academic life. Being an introvert and having a reading habit helps. Reading your story you convinced me to reply, it means you can write convincing stuff which is a good thing. CSS requires a lot of determination. Just remain motivated and rock the Casbah!

P.S. Internet writing is not a career, it's just a makeshift arrangement for pocket-money. So, treat it like that.
