I saw a neurophthalmologist but she was crap. I almost said to her "you were crap" when she asked if I had anything to say.

Most of my lecturers put up the slides literally two hours before the lecture. Maybe one hour or even not at all before lectures at times. I cannot type notes in lectures as I cannot type and hear clearly at the same time (some sort of autistic sensory processing issue). I will ask for a note taker early this time, next week I'll email them with medical evidence and my care coordinator to back me up, hopefully this time they'll do it.

I had Dragon on a laptop that DSA gave me but it wouldn't install on my computer. I'll get my IT friend to help. Failing that I'll have to go back to the DSA assessor.

I have tried recording lectures and going through them when I got home, but it took 4+ hours to transcribe one lecture, as I have trouble with hearing and typing simultaneously. I also have a poor auditory memory (as opposed to my reading and visual memory, which are both advanced).

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
