Learning and Information Procession

I always learn better when I teach myself how to do things, as opposed to other people learning me, mainly because they can, or have been know to go to quick for me to process information at their rate, or because my mind and learning is ahead of theirs. Some people in the past have either called me a genius or stupid. In fact I am neither. Just that they have misunderstood me, my condition and my thought processes.
