I’m worried I might fail my midterms because I didn’t speak during my presentation and struggled with eye contact due to my autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I’m 18 and a senior in high school.

It’s great that you worked hard on your presentation and used ASL and nonverbal communication! It’s important to remember that presentations can be evaluated on various factors, including the content, preparation, and effort put into them. If your teacher is aware of your situation and the methods you used, they will likely take that into consideration.
Just because you didn’t speak or make eye contact doesn’t automatically mean you will fail. If you conveyed your message effectively through ASL and put in the effort, that counts for a lot. It might also be helpful to talk to your teacher about your concerns; they can provide you with more specific feedback and let you know how you performed. Stay positive and remember that everyone has their own unique strengths!
