My daughter has dyslexia and has a terrible time in math and in writing classes. However, she is overcompensated in one area in that she is a very good artist and has won numerous art awards. With her math the problem is that the school teaches one way to work a problem. As a mathematician myself, I was able to show her alternative ways of solving problems. We would try different methods until one clicked and she was able to remember the process. For writing, I found a technique called "mind map" which is great for outlining your ideas in an artistic way. Well worth it to learn. Use it myself to write papers for work.
Anyway, the motive in this reply is that you may not learn the way everyone else does, like my daughter, but you can learn given the correct method. You need to find a method that works for you. It may not be the normal way everyone else learns, but there is a method that will work for you. It may be with the Plain Talk. Perseverance will pay off.
Good Luck,
Steve
