Problem is there needs to be a alternative for audhd people like me. I can't do textbooks and I'm tired of being forced to learn things exclusively through them without much practice.

That would've helped tremendously in my "logic and algorithms" class that it felt like never got any practical practice to see in code. So much of my computer classes based in the theory of it all without allowing me to attempt it in practical applications. It's either that or not being based in reality on languages and technologies we need to learn. Like heck I want to get into tinkering too and there's not much for that in schools where I wouldn't have to have a better paying job to afford the materials myself.

Plus with things like history it's bonkers how much stuff I've found out after the fact bc of living in the south. Esp since I know they tried to push states rights bs on us, and definitely make columbus seem like the Saint he's not. Among other stuff bc people who shouldn't be involved in education are dictating things like this.

yeah but that should probably be handled by a disability support structure at the school

Which they all ask me now that I'm trying to get through things what ones would be helpful and the usual suspects never were helpful. I've done research on other possible ones and always tell them I've got no clue what would be helpful bc searches don't seem to line up but all these schools have no lists of ideas for that either....
