Were there any subjects in school that were really difficult for you?
The main subject that I struggled with due to my CMS was English. I found it hard to focus on what I was reading in class if I could not stem and this made it hard to get work done in the classroom. I often spoke with my English teachers about how hard it is for me to focus on the words without my movements and one teacher was even happy that I shared that information and my story with her.

I had a lot of trouble with learning my multiplication facts (I still don’t know them) and doing basic arithmetic quickly. I still can’t really do mental math, and I have a lot of trouble remembering numbers, but I got a 5 on the AP calc test, so it isn’t like I can’t do math. That being said, the fact I had trouble with memorization and basic calculations did cause some problems in high school math classes since some teachers didn’t let us use calculators/ give us keys with the formulas we’d need if there were a lot, and so I’d make lots of errors on tests that were along the lines of 3+2=6.
