Words are inadequate

Thank you. And I hope it gets easier for him as his brain gets more used to the learning process!

I'm trying really hard to believe in "there's no such thing as 'lazy'."

At this point the actual 'learning' isn't hard for me, I don't think? These are all intro-level courses, so there's a lot of conceptual groundwork, but it all feels like "oh, of course, that makes sense." The hard part is, quite literally, just Doing The Damn Work, sitting through lectures and plugging through homework. Which has always been a struggle for me, and is why I pulled myself out of engineering (before they could kick me out).

In part it's as if the whole -idea- of learning something, of doing something new, is the problem, is what my brain is bouncing off of. That's what I mean by 'resilience,' being able to absorb ... not just new information but unexpected things, things that are different from the routine. ...this wants to be its own post, I think.
