Being a physical therapist would require more physical stamina than I think some of the other professions would....(When I tore my hamstring muscle, and the PT worked with me on rehab, it seemed strenuous for her to do various massaging/resistance work.)

Yeah, the OT place I go to has PTs. They look like they work haard.
Being a PT or an OT wouldn't be fun. haha

From what you've said, ISFJ is a good match. I find Meyers-Briggs to usually be quite accurate.
Your S and F tendencies fit well with your interest inventory. I think you have a huge capacity to help people. For you, helping others is not about feeding your ego. Just the opposite. You've got an enormous amount of empathy. Life has been bumpy for you at times. Rather than become resentful, you've become resourceful. You want to give back. But in a quiet, unassuming way.
My two kids had a fabulous private counselor. At one time, she had been an LD specialist, then got her Masters and became a Licenced Professional Counselor dealing mostly with adolescents and young adults. She told me once that she was naturally introverted. I'm guessing she was an ISFJ. Maybe INFT. She was a gifted "healer." She was incredibly good at what she did.
Let this new information soak into your soul for awhile. Don't take any action just yet. Listen to your heart. The ages of 18-to-25 are a really exciting time of self-discovery. You start to figure out why the Creator put you on the planet. Doors of opportunity start to open. Enjoy the ride!

Haha. I'm looking through my records because Social Security wants all of my sped records for SSI.
They are going to be... very surprised.
Everything is out of order. They basically copied the attendance page of the IEP to the No Evaluation Needed page every year. They never documented a yearlong battle with the school about my 9th grade spanish teacher who refused to adhere to my IEP. There isn't a single mention of it in there. Same with the pseudo-IEP meeting in 11th grade. Where it was me, my parents, my case manager, my Guidance Counselor, and my Digital Photography teacher, who tried to accuse me of a lot of things, most of which were false. The other things were her fault.
And some papers reference things that aren't in the file

I just looked through it again. On my IEP, every year it would said I was classified under Multiply Handicapped.
However, the other papers in the IEPs say I'm classified under other things every year. It's hilarious.
One year I was classified as OHI and another as Specific Learning Disability. I think they alternated my category on the pages that weren't the front of the IEP every year and didn't mention it.

Got an 82 on the math test I took.
Took two computer tests today. For the second one, the person in the disability services office made me write the answers for the multiple choice. My hand hurts.

Why did that person make you write for multiple choice?
|

Post by bros on Oct 14, 2008 17:08:12 GMT -5
I have no idea. I'm guessing she thought I could write legibly.

Did you tell her you have issues with writing and that it hurts?

There were other students in the room taking tests. Very small room. Didn't want to disturb them. And she was out of the room most of the test.

Next time you should tell her. Do you have formal accomodations for college?

Post by bros on Oct 15, 2008 9:39:03 GMT -5
Yes. I have 9 accommodations. One is Use PC for all testing.

Post by Mayleng on Oct 15, 2008 16:18:41 GMT -5
I suggest you let all your teachers know about these accomodations.

I already did so at the beginning of the year. My college gave me forms to distribute to every teacher. I signed it at the beginning of teh semester and so did they. My computer professor prefers to send students with disabilities down to Disability Services though.

Bros, my son has had midterms this week, and he sounds like you.....He didn't want to go through the bother of taking his tests in the Disabilities Services room, so I fear he's not doing as well as he could.....

I'm taking most of my tests in Disability Services. But next time I go, i'm going to give the woman, who proctors the tests in there, my Alert form. It's just that I don't like to correct someone on instructions after they tell me what to do, it would just be a bother.

I understand where it's good to be polite and respectful of the "authority" figure, but I'd hate to see your grades impacted negatively because of their ignorance. If you didn't do as well as you think you're capable of, can you retake the test with the proper accommodations?

I'll see what I got first. I probably did well. I think I did good on the 10 point question. I just hope I was able to make it clear which I selected for multiple choice (it's hard to make a circle small enough for one lowercase letter)
Oh, and today in OT, the therapist was running late, so I was looking at my file, apparently she thinks I have a speech/language issue in spontaneous expression (I assume that means I have issues spontaneously expressing myself. Which sounds like a medical way to say shyness)

Ah, bros....could be a language processing issue. Not necessarily shyness! My dd has this issue. She can think of dozens of things to say AFTER the fact. Just can't get the words out on the spot. She's really social but can't follow the conversational banter of too many voices. That's her CAPD/language processing at work.

Post by bros on Oct 16, 2008 13:14:44 GMT -5
Yes, I usually think of better things to say after the event has happened. I am good at describing how my day went, because that already happened. But if someone asks "what is your favorite x", I have trouble with that, because it is hard to think of just ONE thing. Too many people talking at once is loud. I dislike loud noises.

Post by cobyseven on Oct 16, 2008 13:44:47 GMT -5
Sounds rather CAPD-ish to me. My dd used to have panic attacks at loud noises. She would run around in circles - rather like a spectrum kid. Fireworks were a big no-no. She still sleeps in an 'isolation' chamber. HAHA. I used to have to turn the TV off all the way downstairs so she could get to sleep. Not so bad now.

Oh yes, that sounds like me. I was very very very sensitive to sound. When I was like 4, if I heard a motorcycle, I would cry for 30 minutes non stop.
I used to go to an ENT due to frequent ear infections, and I had tubes in my ears twice.
It's not that I have a problem processing what was said, although sometimes I do need the statement repeated, it's that I have trouble coming up with a response.

Expressive language problems pronounced by the auditory problems probably! The processing of language takes my dd quite a while sometimes....depends on the situation. For her, it is most specifically language, not other things (e.g. memory for words very impaired...other memory scores (e.g.visual memory) very good.)
My dd had no ear tubes....it's just her makeup

I don't really have hearing problems, just slight sensitivity to hearing. Not as sensitive now, but still a little

Maybe i'm not that good at talking to people because I was never.... taught how to? I was never taught social skills
My memory is okay, when I was tested a couple months back (my parents yelled at the district to do an evaluation before I graduated, eventually the school psych and the case manager cornered me in an attempt to say that I didn't want the evaluations, but I got them to do it anyway. (They were like "But won't you miss things in your classes?" "It's getting close to finals!" "You know, you won't really need these after school!") My Verbal IQ is 125, probably from my reading I do. I like to read. I remember the psych report, the psychologist said I wasn't that good at the digit memorization part (where the psych says like 3-8 digits out loud, then I have to repeat them forward, then backwards), I could remember to like the 6th digit. The Psych said he suspected that I was not remembering that activity as well due it wasn't as "meaningful" as the other parts of the memory test. (Weischler is what I was given)
My educational evaluation was a joke. The case manager treated me as if I had a mental handicap. She'd be like "Ohhhhkaaaaaayyyyy, now it is time for you to spell a hard word! Strrroooonnnnggggg. I was in 12th grade. Yeah. I was confused too.
