Ok, Ok, firstly I'm a n00b.
Anywho, I'm in my final year of school in Ireland. Getting into university here is based completely on the results from your final exams.
There's a programme here called DARE, for anyone who many know (I'm guessing very few of you). Basically it means there are a certain amount of places offered to people with disabilities so they can get into their courses with lower results than is usually required. Asperger's is listed as one of the disabilities that you can apply with. I've been professionally diagnosed, so that's all ok, but here's the thing:
I need to write a personal statement on how having Asperger's Syndrome has affected my education, or made it more difficult for me.
I don't know what to write, if I even could write anything. My case is quite mild, and I was diagnosed less than a year ago. Technically I could apply for help, but I don't know if I would have much to say. I'd love to get help, as I'm aiming for a high point course that would be difficult for me to get otherwise.
What should I do? Should I just forget applying, even though it was top of the list for applying for the scheme?
(and thank you to anyone reading my boring post c: )
