I am absolutely furious at whoever told your daughter she should quit school and not go to college!!!!!!! That is the most rediculous thing!!

I have severe dyslexia, moderate ADHD and Asperger's, and I am doing a PhD (doctorial degree i think you call it in the US) through sheer hard work and never giving up. It wasn't easy, but it is diffinately not impossible and your daughter should go to college if that is what she wants to do.

She may even have to quit the first time if it's too hard (I personally quit 2 degrees before I got to where I am), but the important thing is to keep encouraging her to find things she wants to do and do them.

Please please please don't listen to the (trying to think of a uncensored word to call them) people at the school, and encourage your daughter to do what she wants to do.
