well, there is only one good thing I've been able to come across with this disorder,Scholarships. They make a great essay and qualifies you for disability and epilepsy scholarships.

uh, what's the drinking age in Australia? In the US that's illegal until you're 21, soooo WHAT KIND OF PARTIES ARE YOU GOING TO???? Yeah, it affects my school too. My mom has made it so that my teachers never move my seats(in case I have a big one). All the kids are like "Weird, you didn't move?" Or "Haha, you haven't moved the entire year!" I just play the ignorant card. " I think the teacher hates me" or "they must have forgot to move my seat" Oh, and the doctors have also diagnosed me with a memory disorder.Soooo that has bad effects too
