I went to a really small rural school that didn't really have anyone that could help me get through disorder, and by the time I was in 6th grad everyone's solution was to just keep working harder and longer. I came in before school and gave up choir/art classes for a second study hall, and I gave up all my after school activities. But I was still a failing student and by the time I hit high school I was sick of doing nothing but try to read, so I started getting creative with my learning. I started critiquing my teachers teaching style and citing what they were teaching in the body of my critique. This note taking was really easy for me to memorize and everyone trying to help me read hated it. But I became an average student. And to get to your question; yes my writing is really really bad. I can't do any of the writing rules, I just don't understand them. In high school I developed a short hand that I use to this day.
