I have a learning disability, as well as MI's. I have a hard time handwriting because I think faster than my hand does and I miss large parts of words or sentences, it's too messy to read, and stuff like that. I have accommodations at school for it, and I think I always have. I use to take advantage of it because I can write an essay in an hour, and get an okay grade on it. I use to get people at school to pay me to write their essays, and then skip class and write them for them. 20-40$ per essay.

What I didn't realize was that conic disorganization, and an inability to read some times (words will stop making sense) were part of that. For school it's manageable, but for work it becomes difficult. I'll miss a lot of things at work, and in a normal job that would be the worst but it's okay where I was working (on leave currently) because my boss understood and it would usually just be a bunch of small mistakes instead of big ones. I'm worried about getting a "real job" though because of it.

So, ((((shortandcute)))) I completely understand.
