I enjoy reading, but I suck very much at it. I am 17 years old and I am literate. I suffer from the disorders Asperger's Syndrome Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder, if any of that matters. I simply struggle so much to read novels (i.e. memoirs, fiction, mystery, etc.), but less so with reference books (i.e. atlases, encyclopedias, etc.). Of all the novels I have ever read, I've clearly understood about 5 of them, out of about 30. They are A Thousand Splendid Suns, Inside the Kingdom, The Russian Concubine, Mayada, and Angeline. What is wrong with me? Why am I the only person who struggles with novels? Am I just stupid or is there something wrong with me?
