Would you be able to write more quickly if you were able to type? Alternatively, I believe you may be able to get a scribe.
Has this been formally diagnosed? If so, I believe that being allowed to type / have a scribe would count as a reasonable adjustment on the grounds of a disability / long term health condition.
I would, however, suggest getting your parents involved, as the college clearly aren't taking you seriously enough.
I'll move this over to the disabled students forum - it's generally aimed at disabled university students, but you're most likely to be able to get a decent answer over there.

If doctors refuse to acknowledge it as a condition there isn't much you can do.

I'm pretty sure my college wouldn't allow typing and I don't think they care enough to allow me a scribe. I've even shown them a doctor's statement from my doctor as they requested once before but still nothing.
It hasn't been diagnosed, no. The doctors I've seen just say things (e.g. "you'll grow out of it") but never diagnose it. I've been prescribed beta blockers before but they're not much help either. I'm considering a neurologist but not sure. My blood tests all came back normal too, so I guess that's why doctors aren't bothered.
I'll look into getting my mum involved but I doubt she will and I think that'd be more embarrassing.
Thanks for your reply
and thanks for the move, I wasn't sure which forum to put it in myself.Original post by balotelli12

I think they're just unsure so that's why I'm considering a neurologist. I know there's nothing I can really do, apart from failing. Silly me, I thought I could do A-levels when I enrolled in AS, so it's my fault if I look at it from the bigger picture.
Whether they like it or not, they do have obligations under the Equality Act 2010. http://www.skill.org.uk/page.aspx?c=11&p=120#Alevels
There's some useful info here http://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/adjustments-disabled-students
I'd suggest waving this under the noses of your school - it's the regulations that talk all about the adjustments schools and colleges can / must make for those with a disability or long term health condition http://www.wjec.co.uk/uploads/publications/2017.pdf
As for getting your mum involved - would you rather avoid being embarrassed once, or would you rather get good A2 grades and be able to go to uni?

Thanks for that! I'll be showing that to my college as soon as I can and if that fails (which I'm sure it wouldn't), I'll get my mum involved. Thank you for your help.
Go see another gp in your practice and tell them. GPS are only ones who can refer you to neurologist. Tell them your problems and that you would like to see a specialists for help. Might be few month before you get seem but least gets ball rolling
