Ever since i was a child i always have had problems with being on task and paying attention. Many of my teachers have talked about me being behind or not being focused. I make mistakes on the simplest things. It takes me 4 hours to read a 5 page chapter in a book. I cant finish any of my tests on time(this is a big issue).
I am very knowledgeable but i can't keep a steady pace. By the time i know it i am doing something else, whether it means completing an essay( which is what i was literally supposed to be doing right now, but i forgot because i was worried about this and i just remembered). I don't have any close friends at all. i sit alone or sometimes have someone to ask 1000 questions sitting right next to me. i stopped tip toeing at 10 and stopped bed wetting at 13. I can draw very realistically and i dream of becoming a reconstructive surgeon when i am of age.i also started speaking in sentences at the age of 6 before that age i was slightly mute. i am advanced in many subjects at school but i cant concentrate. Im 14
Is this a sign of a mental disorder?

this sounds similar to a common disorder many others have such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder. This doesn't make you any different from anyone else, it just means you have a harder time at being able to pay attention or to focus and learn as fast as others do. I suggest you read and look up more about these disorders to learn about them and to see if you have the symptoms. Once you read up about it, You should speak to somebody face to face about this such as a teacher, a parent, a relative, a nurse, a doctor etc. to let them know. You should get this professionally diagnosed to rule anything out. You may not have any disorder for certain, so its best not to overthink it and instead see if you could possibly have one of these disorders. Please take care and always support yourself. Good luck.
Those sound like symptoms of the above and things such as adhd etc.
I have the same problem. It's called attention deficit disorder. It's kind of like how I'm supposed to be taking notes right now, but instead I'm answering your question. The bed wetting and tip-toeing and your speech has nothing to do with it. I'm pretty sure, anyways. I could be wrong. So, I hope this helped you.
what explains my tip toeing and bed wetting?. i also talk with a high voice.
