You don’t have to tell the school and they aren’t even allowed to ask if you have a disability. (This is a problem sometimes for us – students or parents will think that it’s like K-12 where it’s the schools job to find a disability if it’s there… so when the grades slip they want to go back and erase them…)
Definitely get to know yourself and what kind of situations you do well in… and set yourself up to be in a positive situation. Do you do better in a highly structured situation with clear due dates and “this is exactly what I expect” – or do you do better when you can be creative with assignments? Is procrastination an issue? Will you be able to develop a social situation that will help you, not hurt you?
