    Bad Experience

    Today I had to do some oral exams for a private exam centre. These are usually exams for 16 year olds, but sometimes older people do them. They gave me 4 or 5 different exam boards and 2 different languages. This would have been OK and I had an invigilator helping me to record etc, but some...

    I introduced myself on another forum a few months ago and didn't receive a single reply. I think it was because I had self diagnosed. It's hard, in a few paragraphs, to say enough to convince people, but not so much you confuse people, or go off on a tangent... I know I don't need to "convince"...
