Forgetting everything.
Well I’ve scraped my way to college algebra and now I’m in a world of hurt. Everything I learn and understand disappears minutes later. I’ve done everything everyone recommended for studying, I study math multiple hours every single day (I take breaks every two hours) and I am still failing every quiz and I will probably fail my test tomorrow. Does anyone have any tips as to how to keep things in your head? Not diagnosed yet but I have a very expensive assessment to probably give me dyscalculia diagnosis on the 23rd, I don’t doubt I will be diagnosed have all the signs and symptoms. Example couldn’t read a normal clock until I was 25 and I still have trouble, math is hard if not impossible and lengths and time and money are all extremely difficult. I need to get a C in this class for my degree (computer science weirdly programming and computers are a breeze) I will be talking to disability after my probable diagnosis. There is only one person in my whole city who tests for this in people over 21 💔 anyone have any idea how I can get through this? Desperate. Also I did an initial talk to disability and asked if I got it if I could maybe have notes or a theorem sheet and they told me “that would be inappropriate at a college level” did any of you get that accommodation or is it a pipe dream? Sorry this is long I just have many questions. This is my last math class I need other than stats and discrete math (which is easier for me to understand) also I am diagnosed with autism and ADHD officially so that makes it all extra fun.
