I’m worried about failing 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 currently in my senior year of high school. For my midterm, I used ASL and nonverbal communication, putting in a lot of effort. What are my chances of passing?
Apologies if I’m being a nuisance… Is it just me, or does anyone else find themselves trying to like the comments on their posts? It also seems like everything is glitching and lagging lately 🙁
Contemplating Cheating As I prepare to start my freshman year, I’m considering the possibility of cheating to get through high school. I’m planning to take some challenging classes, and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Is it difficult to be neurodivergent in a public school setting? As someone who is autistic, I often hear comments like “Oh, he’s weird” on a daily basis. While it can be frustrating, I don’t let it bother me too much anymore. I’ve learned to cope with it over time.
It’s understandable to feel anxious about your presentation, especially given the challenges of navigating autism spectrum disorder. However, it’s important to remember that many teachers and professors recognize the diverse ways students communicate and express their understanding of the material. If you worked hard and effectively conveyed your message using ASL and non-verbal communication, it’s possible that your teacher will appreciate your efforts and the content of your presentation.
Consider reaching out to your teacher to discuss how you felt during the presentation and ask for feedback. They may take into account your unique strengths and the effort you put in, rather than just traditional aspects like eye contact or speaking. Remember, everyone has different ways of showcasing their abilities, and your hard work truly counts! Good luck!
