I dropped out of regular high school and went to night school my senior year. I just couldn’t keep up and night school was four days a week, no homework, one class a day and much less graduation credit requirements. Most of the other students were druggies or special ed dropouts.

I currently go to a charter school that is amazing, if I was going to a typical high school I would of dropped out long ago.

Yes and it also makes me look stupid too because of how I process things and because I am visual.

I was diagnosed with ADD, dyslexia, & other related learning disabilities since kindergarten. My dad has those things too. I received accommodations in skewl for them & went to a skewl for dyslexia from middle of 6th through 8th. It was really good I had those accommodations because I majorly struggled with skewl & NEVER had any desire at all to go to college as a result. I didn't have accommodations for my autism(wasn't officially diagnosed) & I was born with physical disabilities that weren't diagnosed either.

I've always been pretty good with numbers, although not in a particularly sophisticated kind of way - I can easily remember dates, combinations, years when certain events happened etc. Reading has been okay. My handwriting has never been great, and its lack of neatness sometimes gets pointed out still. My worst areas are physical activities such as swimming and cycling, which I still can't do to any significant extent.
