Not me but my youngest son...
He has complex autism plus other disabilities and because of this we were informed he would never be able to go to into a mainstream high school, never do GCSEs and would struggle to do life skills. He did half days at school until he was 11, finally going full time in the second term of year 6 but even then, his attendance was well below the average due to hospital stays etc. He spent his year 6 SATS under the desk completely unable to cope.
He is now 18, he did go to a main stream high school, albeit with a very high level of support, he did GCSEs passing most of them (although narrowly missed passing maths). He then moved to college where he repeated a year of GCSEs, gaining his maths pass and picking up a further two GCSEs at A* A. Fast forward to now, he is a triple A* student, top of his year group and looking at going to university next September.
His attendance is still not great, he tires easily but he is a stubborn and very determined young man.
For me - Doing well enough in my first year of my law degree via open university whilst juggling children (2 x differing needs and all that entails....all night assignments anyone!) to progress onto the second year. Alas it stopped after that because the needs of the children increased and even doing the study overnight became impossible.
