Hi @Dan2019
A very warm welcome.
You could ask for a copy of your medical records from your GP, they might hold something.
To get a clear view about any LD, you would need to ask your GP for a referral to a LD clinical psychologist, there a number of simple tests that can be carried out.
The main one would be a formal IQ test.
I went through this process with a family member a few years ago and was of great assistance.
Let us know if we can help further. -
