Hi Jeni,
I apologize if you feel I am overwhelming you with advice which you don't feel you could take.
I'm not a "hard sell" kind of guy; I hate it when others give me the "hard sell."
Perhaps, because I'm from New York City, I come off as a little blunt. You know how us New Yorkers are! LOL
My instincts tell me, though, that you have potential, and that you could succeed by obtaining either a Regent's Diploma or a GED (if you don't get a Regent's Diploma). You are doing "The Crucible" now, which is a pretty advanced play. You wouldn't be doing "The Crucible" if they didn't think you were at least somewhat intelligent.
When you do get either the Regent's or GED, you could start off at Community College. You could ask the Admissions Counselor about Accommodations. Then the Admissions Counselor will refer you to a Disabilities Counselor.
PS: You should see or read the play known as "Lost in Yonkers." I think you would enjoy it.
You should have the results of all the psychological tests which you took in high school. That's required to get Accommodations. You have to have actual proof of any and all diagnoses.
I always been a savant in English
It's okay I like your advice it's just that I don't know if I can take it I want to take it it was my dream to show what low functioning people can do.
The problem is that once to one setting is different than a 30 - 40 class kids and and online schooling would be too independent.
I've tried being in regular programming but left in October because it was too hard and I cannot handle it and my voices were bothering me. They brother me every day but hopefully they'll go away eventually.
Do any collages take IeP diplomas?
I wish there was a special college for people like me.
I'll have to check out wcc and ask them about admission myself just to make sure there's no special program.
