How do I ask for accommodations for college when I don't even know what I might need? (autism and adhd)
So i already went through 12 years of school as per my country's system. It took me 5 years to recover from the severe burn out and depression it caused.
BTW i was onky diagnosed this year. Yay.
I guess you can skip the rest of my rambling, the question is exactly what it says in the title.
The rest might be too much since I ramble about manifestations of my autism a bit.
You see, i know i appear "normal" as per my high school teacher's quote. It was quite hurtful hearing that, apparently coming out about autism is harder than coming out about being queer, who would have thought?!
In any case, I don't want to constantly mask at school because a) I've mostly unmasked in my day to day life, and b) I'm really excited for the school, it took me a lot to get into it both mentally and financially, even with the scholarship I received.
They know i have autism, but not adhd since i didn't want to overwhelm them with that (I've told them that before my enrolment was finalised, so I didn't want to risk it). So far they've thanked me for trusting them with that info, so I kinda feel secure to ask for accommodations, but I have no clue what that would be.
Do I ask them what they have to offer or do I do research (fucking again) and see what may benefit me. I'm just so tired of doing all the work on this myself. Shouldn't there be someone at school who can help me without me chewing and digesting it for them?
Also, it sounds entitled to even ask! I'm "low support" (isn't that a fucking joke?! I was paralysed the whole day yesterday because neither of my usual options for breakfast were possible, so I just did not fucking eat for like 13 hours after waking up), so like what can they even do??
I'm lost and excited at the same time. Thank fuck i have time until September to decide. Ugh.
Thank you if you have any clue what I should do
