i wanna start a studytok but i need ideas first 🤔

if i’m not autistic but struggle significantly with mental illnesses that make it difficult to function and suspect a learning disability, do you think i would also be able to access some of these accommodations?

this would sadly be dependent on whether you have some kind of diagnosis as they do require documentation of a disability and also possibly what your schools disability office decides they can offer based on that.

i was told quite a few of my accommodations, such as extended assignments/attendance flexibility, are typically available for people with conditions that are episodic in nature (i also have ptsd along with other comorbid conditions + some chronic physical health issues). i’m not sure what accommodations would look like otherwise or what can be offered for disabilities aside from what i personally have. i obviously can’t give a straight answer but i’d say its worth a try to ask about!

in my experience you’ll usually have to meet with someone from the disability office to discuss your diagnosis, how it effects your day-to-day/where you struggle with school, and then decide which accommodations are applicable to your situation. it could be helpful to take some notes beforehand on anything you might want to bring up.

hope this helped! i wish i could give you an easier/more complete answer but they like making these things difficult :/ wishing you luck!!

wait did y'all know there's a ton of free language course resources for u.s. peace corps training??

just turned in the last of my final assignments!! now i get to use my break time to catch up on some language study and prepare for mandarin 102 next semester. 🥳

helllooo studyblr its been a very chaotic end of semester for me, updates on everything to come after i finish my ethnomusicology essay (my last assignment for fall!!)
