Dear Kirk,

I have Simple Virilizing CAH which may have different responses than Salt Wasting but I’ve found if I was really prepared for a test at school there never was a problem but this is just me. I liked learning about what interest me but never really fit into the school scene ever.

Astronomy was a great class but trying to Habla en Espanol? a little on the frustrating side for me at times and maybe some bursting into tears but maybe a little extra concentration would of changed that. An adrenal crisis is harder to come by for someone with Simple Virilizing and that only happens being really x 5 sick.

At times in school for me it was more of a trouble to focus if anything : ) another trouble spot is that sometimes during stress I’ll get much to aggressive when quiet and assertive is a better choice.

Once in college, I forgot about a test that was in my major and was crying, stressing over this to the professor and ended up doing OK after all because at least I had read the chapter before hand but really didn’t study. I partied, worked, and went to school in that order.   My most cherished grade was the one in statistics because I really wasn’t comfortable in the subject...OK lost dumb as a brick at times but I gave myself a pep talk all the way through that class and finally after tanking twice before got a professor that really took the time to explain the subject and I passed.
