I'm failing college because I have dysgraphia. What should I do?

Yeah I worked as a Teaching Assistant and one of my students had ADD so I got a note from the university meaning they can take the tests separate from everyone else. Pretty normal in universities for the disability department to handle that with you and send a note to your instructors to make special changes.

I'm surprised you went this long. Most kids get diagnosed by their parents in like HS. "My son is different! Test him for everything!" *shucks you spun aids*

wtf? Everyone I know writes worse than that!

Better than my handwriting!

For me the problem is less about quality and more about speed.


Crazy idea: Learn to write short hand. Who knows, might work out for you.

Practically I would just audio record the lectures (you can play them back faster to save time).

Do you have the same problem when typing?

Also, as mentioned, if you have a legitimate disorder your school will work with you to put you on level ground. Kids with dyslexia usually get untimed tests.
