📝 AITA for Using My Disability to my Advantage?

By SeaPreparation3118 • Score: 2 • April 22, 2025 5:08 PM


Hi, I'm an 18 year old male, I have severe anxiety disorder and tourettes syndrome. I'm in my first year of University and am signed up with the Disability/Accessibility services at that institution. I tend to use extensions whenever I want to use them, taking as much extra time as I need it, I bring it up on all of my scholarship application statements to illicit sympathy.

I just wanted to know if this makes me a terrible person, I guess my mindset is that if I'm gonna be cursed with this mental illness, I might as well get something out of it.

I'd like some opinions.

Thanks
