I can sense some stress in your writing. "Intelligence", as you refer it, could be heavily linked to emotions. Just the feeling that you are falling behind could be enough to trigger a poor performance. Try to keep your mind cool, and release some of the pressure you are feeling (my de-stresser is weight lifting). You seem to still conserve a good base "intelligence", so that is a pretty good foundation, just keep going and let it compound over time. There are plenty of opportunities for people that have a passion, even without a formal education at all or with lifelong conditions. Learn to live with your constraints, and make the best of them. In 10 years, you'll look back surprised about how far you've come, even if it does happen that you have a lifelong problem (which might well be fully resolved in a few months).

Thank you. You sensed correctly - I'm definitely stressed. I've recently started to weight lift for different reasons (RSI) and while I haven't noticed cognitive improvement as suggested by another comment, it's definitely helped me de-stress.
