She said that the assessment was more to do with exams that this though, and that she would analyse the results.
I sat my exams (got an A
) and had 25% extra time added, as well as regular breaks allowed. Also, my papers were printed on pink paper, which was the same colour for most of my work sheets for the rest of my course. I wasn't really sure why they were that way, or why I was given an orange plastic sheet, but (apart from the sheet because of the glare), I realised after a while that it actually helps focus print.I forgot about it for a while, until a month after my exams and have been reading about it sporadically since then.
It hit me (finally after two years) that being sat at home all day doing little else, is a waste of time, and that I should be outside exposing myself (not in that way...) to new experiences.
I started volunteering 2 months ago at a local potential radio, and love it. it's built my confidence and I get to present my own feature once a week which is awesome. It's the highlight of my week and is the only socialising I do currently.
My confidence increase by a huge amount, which was helped even more by the fact that I got a job I applied for.
Quite alot of the general "symptoms" out there on the web or in books apply to me, or in my childhood.
Buttons, shoelaces, ball catching & kicking and bike riding are things which took me alot longer than my peers to get.
How would I go about getting diagnosed. I am 22 and currently on JSA.
Thanks.
