    • I was able to reach my education potential despite having M.E.
    • My peers left me behind
    • I was absent for long periods
    • I had to be home-schooled (home-tutored)
    • I needed to study part-time
    • I needed to study on-line e.g. open university or equivalent
    • I was registered as a disabled student
    • I needed special arrangements to study e.g. a study-partner or special equipment
    • I needed special arrangements to take exams e.g. computer-based, extra time
    • I needed to catch-up with coursework during the holidays

    Unfortunately, online study was not available in the 1980s. So there were years with no realistic educational options available.
