I have been thinking of dropping one of the classes and probably will. I have a few more days to decide. I have not found much information about accommodations when I have looked, but I have not looked thoroughly. It is a good idea. I will look again when I can read better. Not sure if small goals would work for reading because when I can't read, I can only get a word or 2 out of every paragraph. The text flashes and jumps on the page. I can't see it in straight lines. It is like a paper version of my brain. Thanks for the suggestions, spin. I have been thinking of dropping one of the classes and probably will. I have a few more days to decide.

I know that this is hard to think about, but have you thought of dropping one of the classes and just focusing on one at a time. Also, I don't know what school this is through, but requesting accommodations as a disabled student may help. They may even give you more time to get through the class materials. I hated reading text when I was taking classes. I love to read, but reading text would just zone me out. So I always had to set up small goals, then step away and do something else....TheBoy said that when he was writing his thesis, he could only write a couple of sentences, then would have to go away and do something else...It was reassuring to hear that even super smart people like him have a hard time focusing.
