What strategies do you use for feeling like the class is slow, the content rote, and actually retaining content from term to term? How do you manage the social situation on campus? What worked for support from your instructors? What could the university have done to better support you? What did you need to do in order to engage in your studies more? How much of your academic challenges were caused by adhd/asd/family or living situation rather than giftedness?

Thanks!

Asking for 1) comparison to self and 2) wondering if there's anything I've not yet thought of that'd support me in understanding my students.

title is awful. I'm not talking about parents of babies, I'm talking about my parents, in their 60's, who now admit that maybe - maybe - they fucked up sending me to mainstream school and depriving me of signed language. they say they want to do the 'right thing' now, and are trying to actually have a relationship with me. Does anyone have recommended resources, websites, videos, anything that explains hearing vs Deaf culture, impacts of mainstreaming, etc?
