How can I prove to my college that I can do it this time? (Adult ADHD)?

I am 25 and was recently diagnosed with a disorder similar to adult ADD inattentive type (it's a nonverbal learning disorder.) I have an official dr.'s report.

I have enrolled in and dropped out of college 4 separate times between ages 17-23 due to feelings of being overwhelmed, potential failure, feeling "lost", etc. I'm very intelligent but my grades don't reflect that! I have math problems related to NVLD but they're not insurmountable.

In high school, I missed a LOT of school because of the same feelings as above, and my grades suffered. I ended up getting my GED, not diploma, on top of that.

I am meeting with a community college on 2/21 to discuss admission into their radiologic technology program but am afraid they're going to scoff at my HS and college transcripts. I only ever completed one semester of college, and it wasn't even there. I dropped out of THEIR school 2x.

What can I say or do to convice them that I can do it this time? I'm SO worried!

I should add that I know I can "do it" this time because I'm older, more focused, more driven, and have now been properly diagnosed so I can get the help I need.

hi
im your age with dyspraxia. There should be help and support for you at college,uni etc. what you have said above in your p.s bit is good. talk about self learning and understanding your ADHD for yourself and talk about what posative changes you have made in your life already to help you.
Talk about what support they can offer you!!!!can they offer you support??? if not its the wrong college for you and others with similer conditions. after all they want people to study at their school!!! and choose their college. You could also tell them if you have done any research about your subject area (show them your enthustiastic)
be honest. I was when i went for my interview, i read up so i knew what the course was about. also have ideas about what support you'lll think you will need and discuss this.
good luck and stay chilled

One of the main things that you'll have to do is to prove to them that you're getting the help that you need. They might ask you to only take a certain amount of credits this time instead of a full time load. Start with maybe two or three classes, that's about 6 to 9 credits and shouldn't be to difficult. As you do well and can prove to your self and them that this time is different you can add more classes. You don't want to over whelm yourself the first time out of the gate. Take it slow and prove to them and you that you can do it. Also take the documentation of your learning disability to them, that will give them the ability to help you plan a schedule that will work for you. Colleges should help you with professors who are willing to work with you, to make sure that you're able to succeed this time. It's a provision of the ADA that they help you, but since College isn't mandated you have to advocate for yourself.

well lets see, I had to leave HS when my parents got divorced, since I couldn't cope, they sent me to a boot camp school, when I got out I got out with my high school equivalence, which is pretty much a GED, started community college soon after, and dropped out for the same feelings of anxiety and overwhelming pressure, as if I was carrying a huge boulder on my shoulder,

now I am applied to the community college in my area, i'm 22, and dont have money for college so i'll need financial aid, radiologic technology is the same AA degree i'm going for, its not that big, they wont "scoff" at your transcripts, that shouldn't even be an issue, to quote my counselor "don't worry about a thing, you'll be alright"

if you have the money, or the financial aid to get an associates degree, nothing can stop you, not even your past, just you
