Statistically significant discrepancy

How can  a significantly significant discrepancy between verbal and performance IQ even though both scores are very respectable lead to a lifetime of clumsiness and under performance?  Could it be explained by sensory difficulties?

Google would not let me go to my own blog the other day without reassuring it that I was willing to take the risk involved and it was not responsible!

ADHD musings

Problems I experience daily:

• burning the toast and sometimes the actual grill
• flooding the kitchen, the utility and sometimes the bathroom (a bit more serious that one, water travels down the light fitting.)
• having to heat up my coffee a zillion times as I forget about it and it cools and I heat it up and it cools 

I have now realised with ridiculous astonishment that I can keep myself there while the toast grills or the sink fills  by ......................doing the dishwasher or brushing the floor, who knew?

The coffee though still defeats me so any suggestions very welcome.

IQ or EQ?

Intelligence is the result of following one’s own curiosity and accepting and travelling on one’s own personal journey.  Clever is the computer God gave you. Garbage in garbage out.
