Q: trouble expressing myself

i am 17 and have trouble expressing myself. people including peers and adults think i might be on drugs(crack or weed) because i speak very slowly. i have trouble absorbing information and usually ask many questions just so i can understand what they were saying. since this happens everyday in school.. people would say i'm dumb. i feel depress most fo the time because i really don't know how to change my condition.

people also say i'm random and weird. when ever i talk or write, my sentenes will not be related to the last sometimes, and when i talk i wouldn't think i talk slow at all. i have very poor short term memery... sometimes i wonder if i have brain cancer or something.

i don't know what is wrong with me and i really want to know what i can do to chagne things.

It sounds like you need to be checked, this sounds like a simple case of Asperger's to me.
