When you are a hands on AND auditory learner

Ok, this has a LONG intro to my question, so if you want to just see my main question, look below where I bolded it.

I am a hands-on and auditory learner - always have been. Every time I try to learn something by just reading about it, I don't quite absorb it all. I just assumed everyone was this way. I mean, I'm a pretty smart cookie and can do most things well enough, but even in college, just READING the text material was not enough for me. I HAD to be in the lectures to absorb it - forget reading someone else's notes. I remember being in absolute awe when my husband would study at home for his actuarial exams to first become an associate and later a fellow. He basically, got an advanced degree in that form of math without ever stepping into a classroom. (He later got a PhD too where he did go to class, of course).

I've never been able to do that. I'm good at math, but I remember even as a kid not being able to figure out how to do a math problem if I got stuck unless I was able to be walked through it with a teacher - I needed to see and hear the explanation. Then I would get it, and off I would go. It's been the same for everything for me. I tried to teach myself to knit from a book. NO WAY. It was only when I was able to sit in front of a YouTube video that I was able to make my first stitches. I do the same for learning new EVERYTHING - bread-making included.

But now I wonder if perhaps I've had a slight learning disability all along? I say this because I have a son on the autism spectrum. He's extremely bright, but there has ALWAYS been some disconnect with processing words.

For the last 3 years we have been homeschooling him (he's 14) and since we've started that, he has leap-frogged in what he has been able to learn because of two things, I think. 1. He's getting learning in a form he can process more easily, and 2. his brain is still building new connections to allow him to absorb more.

So, I sit with him (and his dad does too with other subjects) and I learn about things WITH him. Every lesson a video. He HEARS it. And for math and science, he sees it - it's using two ways of learning - auditory and visual. If it's just auditory, he tunes out and if it's just visual he tunes out. He needs both simultaneously. So do I. I've realized while sitting with him that I'm learning about things much more than I ever did in school. If either of us can do learning hands-on, that's even better.

And that leads me to cooking/baking. I'm a pretty good cook, but I can take things to the next level when I watch a video about a technique. I can see and hear about it.

I have TONS of books for cooking and if it's a straight-up recipe, I can do that perfectly. If it gets into wordy explanations without seeing it visually being done, I'm lost - like I was with trying to learn to knit too.

So, I adore videos. I'm also a busy mom. I'm currently not working, but that will change soon. I took a break when I was recovering from a stroke (It was more of an emotional recovery I needed than anything else as my job was basically horrific and forced me out as I got called into the office the first day back to be put on a pretty strict leash where I was terrified to breathe, so I gave notice and quit). Anyway, since the stroke, I've had some problems with reading and writing - I can do it, but it doesn't flow as well as it should. It is even MORE difficult to learn from just reading - breadmaking too. 

Now, I'm FINE. We learned what caused the stroke (some fluke of my brain's wiring) and have corrected it, so it shouldn't happen again, but I cannot erase the damage.

So, that leads to this question. I've AWAYS been a learner who NEEDS visual and auditory material, with now knowing that what is good and easy to use videos for baking bread? I was just pointed to Vanessa Kimbell and I will look more there, but is it really $240 a year for the videos? I know that breaks down to $20 a month and perhaps it's worth it? Is it billed monthly or yearly? I couldn't see anything on the site.

I'm looking for something that is like a course - not just one-off videos. Is the this Kimbell one really the only one? 

I will also say, that when you all post detail photos of how thing should look, it is ENORMOUSLY helpful, so THANK YOU.
