#kismet’s exploits in academia

Being in a class with people who also have adhd is great because somehow from talking about southern gothic we ended up watching the iwtv movie and it was so good just screaming about how gay lestat and Louis were for each other and having my feelings be validated by others

I need to miss out on school a lot because of my health and various cocktail of medical issues I came preinstalled with and let me tell you once I was practically on my death bed trying convince my parents to let me go to school for midterms. 12 hours later I was in the hospital because my lungs had stopped working and I couldn’t fucking breathe. And I still I regret someday not sitting that exam. Thankfully due to being a ‘gifted kid’ (read nuurodivergent child who would spectacularly crash and burn upon entering high school), I was able to make up for the fail grades I got by the end of the year, but like y’all have to understand, I wasn’t even ten years old and due to the pressure put on me by school and the society around me, I tried to take an exam while I was ACTIVELY DYING. We really need to figure this shit out before a kid actually dies

When I say “school should be disability accessible”, I don’t just mean we need handicap rails and EAs. Kids should be able to miss a day without failing out of school. You shouldn’t be dismissed from clubs because your attendance record is “spotty” (true story). I once missed an entire week of school because of a terrible, unending migraine. I was expected to keep up with my studies despite the blinding pain that came with working on my computer. When I heard my teachers say that you couldn’t miss exams, I asked what I would have to do to be excused from them. Their response? “Either get a doctor’s note an hour before the exam or death of an immediate family member.”

I cannot express how rigid this expectation was. First of all, with my condition, I wouldn’t have enough warning about my sickness to go to the doctor and request a note. For many people, this is exceptionally difficult, especially with the current shortage of medical professionals. Next, it ignores the fact that my schedule may not line with theirs because of my medical needs. Once, I had to visit a hospital a province away (which I was on the waiting list of for over a year) on the same day as an exam. I begged my mother not to take me because I was so nervous that I would be marked as an automatic fail. I was lucky enough to make it work, but that’s only because of my spectacular support system consisting of family members and wonderful doctors.

Disabilities aren’t always about needing a bus that can accommodate wheelchairs. It’s already difficult enough for many of us to maintain school attendance without the harsh punishments involved for skipping a day. We need to be able to miss school without being punished. Only than can you claim that the school is “accessible”
