| What I do is type mine in Microsoft Word and do a copy-paste. If that's a problem, handwrite it as you like and simply retype what you've written. See if that helps. |

| I don't know much about art schools either. I know UConn's school of Fine Arts has won several awards, but I can't really say much about it since I'm not an art major. However, UConn has an excellent AS Program, which you probably won't find at a dedicated art school. Let me know if you want more in... |

| So far no-one has mentioned State Colleges. Are State Colleges/Universities a bad idea for people with AS? I go to a state school (see above). Unfortunately it's not in my state, so it doesn't really help my tuition bill. But it's very good. I'm not going to redescribe everything I just said so loo... |

| I don't recall if I've already posted in this thread, but the University of Connecticut has a great program for students with AS. It is through their Center for Students with Disabilities and is called the SEAD Program (which itself is part of Beyond Access, which is a part of CSD, but don't worry a... |

| I go to the University of Connecticut, which is a big school with over 18,000 undergrads. It also has a dedicates AS Program (albeit a small one). But the point is, at a school this size, there are going to be people like you. But with 18,000 other students out there, don't expect to sit around and ... |

| What's wrong with a "social frat"? I was in one of those, and it was awesome. Not all frats are full of meat heads. To be fair though, we got f**** up. For better or worse it was a crash course in reality, both social and consequential. People deal and live it. 5 years after the fact I have 15 or s... |

| From what I find (not just in math but in everything) is that if you don't understand a subject after repeatedly learning it, self-studying won't help. Is there some math tutoring center at your school? Or some general tutoring center that can help with math? Even some disability programs (like the ... |

| No. Well, theoretically yes, but that could never have happened. Consider schools, for instance. You have the blacks in one school and the whites in the other. Presumably the teachers will be the same race. But since at the time, there were far more white teachers than black teachers, we can clearly... |

Imus and Boyle may be someone tasteless with their humor in general, but both just said one stupid and totally out-of-line thing, probably without thinking, and are going to be criticized for it for a long time.
