Problem with Learning process. I have been in Special Ed for almost all my life. Now I'm a smart person though I have a company and I work for a 2nd company. But I have missed alot of stuff back in my elementry year and even middle school. Its like as in math I don't know things right off. like example 25*11 things like that are subtracting, adding right off. I don't know what to do are how to get better. I don't know if I'm suffering from ad-d but I need to get better. I want to be smart and be in a regular class with my peers then in a special ed classroom

The truth about learning disabled adults, teens and children is that they are often brighter, more creative, smart and more gifted than their peers in the so-called regular classrooms. All you are doing is learning the material in a different way and more hands on.
A Special education teacher once told me that "you're not learning disabled you are learning differently." In order to get funding for special programs from I heard educators had to have it labeled as a disability.
It's okay if math doesn't come easy to you right off. The way to get better is to practice the type of problems and situations you find yourself in daily and there's nothing wrong about using a calculator, counters or other device to arrive at the answers unless it's a constant thing.
It doesn't sound like you are suffering from ADD here as what you mentioned has nothing to do with your attention span but rather automatic recall which is something a lot of people even in the regular classroom have trouble with.
I think if you continue in the special ed classroom and hire your own tutor that maybe you can return to your regular class. Just know the truth of the matter is there's nothing shameful for being in that class and your classmates are no better than you are.
You just learn differently and you are not in the strictest sense disabled as that implies that you cannot do something period when in fact you can in a different way. Educators are slowly waking up to that fact as are psychologists but seem swift to label any kid who doesn't learn in their conventional way when in fact everyone learns differently than the other. ]
