In the state I live in, there do not seem to have been any repercussions. None of my jobs asked for detailed transcripts, they were simply interested in the end results: aka my degree, and whether or not I could do the job.

I've noticed too that a little bit of struggle in ones history can be a great illustration of how they overcame challenges and found solutions to problems - all valuable skills for any role in life.

Can you take your concerns to your school counselor or disabled resources counselor (if there is one at your uni)? This might set your mind at ease, or at least let you know what you are up against so you can strategize.

Take care; hope you will post again with update, or reach out again just to talk....
No, I'm actually from Canada, Calgary Alberta.

I have been emailing around back and forth and I might decide to do the learning disability test when I have enough money. Just today I got a reply from my arts advisor and even she is unsure if I can land a job....I'm just extremely worried...because uni is not cheap. It's harder to earn money to pay all of my tutition.

Though I have seen some job application that only ask for bachelors, but as I recall I have asked my advisor if I could get back into my program (elementary education) after I upgrade online for the two english courses I failed. And then proceed to go into open studies which is basically more upgrading, but the university allows you to take certain university courses for your program.
