It’s scary how much I relate to this. I struggled to juggle anything over 8-10 units in undergrad (quarter system) and constantly had to make excuses for why I was dropping a class or petitioning for an incomplete. It took me an extra 1.5 years to graduate.

I saw a specialist to be evaluated for autism, but she said I only have ADHD. It was disappointing and I still wonder if I could be on the spectrum and perhaps she just got it wrong. But now I can’t afford to see another specialist. I guess I’ll never know.
