I have SCT/CDD and i thank Russell Barkley for showing me that. I knew i had something more then just ADD.

Its funny I think hes trying to talk slowly and clearly to make it easier for SCT folks to process what hes saying.
Just yesterday I searched research gate for new papers about this disorder, and one theory that stood out to me was that SCTers dont have slow processing speed in general, but instead, their working memory is slow.
Maybe thats why I dont have any trouble understanding fast paced speach but struggle when someone mumbles or speaks in dialect. In fast paced standard language I understand the words instantaneously. When someone speaks with an accent there is latency where you keep what you just heard in your working memory. Shitty working memory = trouble with accent

If you can keep your face straight, here are the symptoms of a condition called Sluggish Cognitive Tempo.

Prone to daydreaming
Easily confused or mentally foggy
Spacey or inattentive to surroundings
Mind seems to be elsewhere
Stares blankly into space
Slow moving or sluggish
Lethargic or more tired than others
Trouble staying awake or alert in boring situations
Underactive or less energetic than others
Sleepy or drowsy during the day
Gets lost in own thoughts
Apathetic or withdrawn, less engaged in activities
Loses train of thoughts
Forgets what he/she was going to say
Hard time putting thoughts into words
Processes information not as quickly.

Did you get to the end without laughing? I didn't.

In fact I couldn't stay awake. I fell asleep after the sixth line.

I have Sluggish Cognitive Tempo. Eli Lilly, where are my drugs?

This is what is in the DSM

Disorders that are actually in the DSM 5.

Can you keep your face straight?

Female orgasmic disorder
Intermittent Explosive Disorder

Caffeine disorder

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Alcohol use disorder, mild

Grieving

Gaming Disorder

Transvestic disorder

Alcohol withdrawal [but no psych-drug]

Delayed ejaculation

Stimulant use disorder (ironic?)

Tobacco use disorder

They narrowly rejected Sluggish Cognitive Tempo. So when shit like that gets in, Barkley's SCT must be very very weak.
Sorry folks it doesn't exist. You want kids to be drugged for daydreaming?
