Hello,
I am actually a student currently. Was reading some of the posts, and noticed many teachers consider the relevance of revealing the diagnosis to the kids.
I am not yet diagnosed, and experience symptoms daily. (seeing nuero every 6 months.) I know the poor balance issues, I've fallen off my fair share of chairs, and stumbled when there was no object in the way.
Since I'm also a student, I know how cruel kids can be. I cannot say whether or not it is right to disclose the diagnosis, but I am saying (knowing the people I do) that typically kids will leave you alone more if they realize it's something serious.
Thank you guys for all that you do!! Teens can be cruel sometimes, not only to teachers, but also to other students.
Best wishes to you all, and please don't let the kids get to you when they're joking around.
