I have one son with slow processing....sometimes the time given for everyone is plenty of time for him. Sometimes it just isn't quite enough time. From middle school on, I have had teachers say that they are more than willing to give him that extra bit of time because what they get in quality is ten times his age/grade and they looked forward to the end product more than worrying about if he got an extra day.
In running and swimming, coaches will talk about fast twitch muscles and slow twitch muscles. Sprinters are fast twitch and long distance are slow twitch. You can't discount the slow twitch distance athletes as not as awesome as fast twitch. But Jesse Owens was a terrific track sprinter and Katie ladecky distance swimmer are both awesome in their own way.
Hope this helped.
