We discussed me having extensions on assignments, excused absences in case I'm hospitalized, somewhere to take an exam separately, permission to leave class when I'm having delusions or anxiety...just to breathe for a few minutes. There were some others. Apparently all of those accommodations are highly possible to receive.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have been looking up typical university accommodations when I will go to university. I'm really afraid my social anxiety will get really bad. I don't want to do any presentations type of thing yet. If I have to there, I may have to ask for a beta-blocker or anti-anxiety medication, which I don't want to, but.

I was thinking of asking for time extentions because in Canada, one of the places I looked for accommodations it said look at this site and if you have anxiety, it said time extentions. The thing with me though is I procrastinate a lot (until the day before basically) on major projects because of probable mild AD/HD inattentive type so I might procrastinate with the time extention. I may ask for it in high school to see if it helps or not. Not yet though, because I want to see if I am okay without that.

Yes, those are all possible to receive. I hope you find what works for you [emoji4] . Thanks for the response [emoji4] .
