This isn't strictly uni related, although it does relate, and my condition isn't a disablity per se but it's bothering me.
I have a condition that means that if I overheat, I feint, and fit, similarly to a minor epileptic fit. Many authorities treat it as epilepsy, as it is very similar. It's been investigated, and the hospital came to the conclusion that I have them so infequently and they are so short that it's not worth the side effects of medication, especially as I am normal within an hour of having them, just very hungry. (In theory if I had one at the beginning of the day, if I sat in a quiet room for a while I could return to lessons for the rest of the day).
My question is quite general, but this is where I thought it would best go, but when applying for sixth form/uni/jobs, how will I declare it as it doesn't come under a normal "disability bracket"?
I require very little support, and for my GCSE exams next year I am simply being placed in a separate room with a fan and water, and as I can't have that in lessons, in lessons I can leave to splash water etc without quibble. It's not a big ask, and all but one of my current teachers accepted it without quibble (and the one that didn't hates me anyway!)
