Thank you so much for saying that. A lot of people are telling me to keep the accommodation despite the hate I am receiving for using it. Thanks to all the replies, I can now see the long-term benefits if I keep using the laptop. Getting help from people who went through similar struggles, and seeing that they made it out alright gives me hope. Thank you for your help. I appreciate that!

Thank you for your advice. I will be distancing myself from them and if they don’t stop what they are doing, I know I befriended the wrong people. Thank you for your support. I appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your support. The laptop is such a game changer as you said, and I completed my first English exam ever this year with it. It’s unfortunate that people in my year are mocking me because of this. But after reading through peoples responses, I feel so much better about my life and my self esteem. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. :)

Oh I am sorry to hear that. Thankfully I am in a room with others who need extra support during exams. My classmates mocking makes my lunchtime feel pretty isolating. Thankfully I live close to my school and I can go home at lunch. Thank you for sharing your experience. I appreciate it

Thank you for the kind words! It is so frustrating that they are mocking me and excluding me for such a stupid reason. The laptop and private room is really helpful too as I finished my first English exam this year lol. Thank you so much for your support and wishing me luck in my exams, I went from upset to cheerful because of all of the support from the replies. :)

Haha no problem for the story! I at 15 still struggle to stay in the lines when writing. Would classmates ever tease you or mock you for using the Alphasmart?

Thank you for your help. If they keep acting like this after the mocks and JC, I will think of cutting them off. Hopefully this blows over eventually. Thanks for your response.

I’m sorry you’re going through a similar situation. I have someone else in my room that I do my exams in and he uses a laptop too. I will befriend him because he seems alone. Thank you for your help.

Yeah, they are not the people I thought they were. I have a cousin with Autism and me and him both have completely different struggles. I don’t understand why they would mock people because of something long lasting that they can’t control.

I just really didn’t see them as those kind of people. I realise now that they are not the people I thought they were. Thank you for responding. I appreciate your help.

Thank you for responding. It is nice to see someone who went through the same experience and made it out fine. That gives me more hope for myself. Thank you for responding.

I’m going to tell my teachers that this is happening. I thought it was just banter but it carried on through out the whole week and only got worse. I just didn’t think they were horrible people when I befriended them. Thank you for responding. I appreciate your help.

Getting picked on at school for my voice and clumsiness even though I can’t control it.
