In the past it was hard Now schools allow more time for students with a learning disability. I have a friend who obtained extra time to take the bar exam.He is now a lawyer.I myself took a long time to get my education. Many state Colleges have special programs. Good luck and do not let the extra work hold you back.

I will be successfully completing college in one year. I went straight to college out of high school. I go to UC Berkeley full time. We have an AMAZING program for disabled students, DSP - Disabled Students Program. It services people with physical, mental, learning disabilities as well as people with chronic diseases and conditions. There are lots of different services available and what you get depends on what you work out with your DSP adviser. I get time and a half on exams and quizzes in a separate low distraction environment. I also get copies of lecture notes from a student who DSP pays to be the class note taker. We have lots of kids with LD accommodations at Cal and the professors have be seriously supportive and understanding in my experience. Good luck!
