I had a friend in college, a very bright guy btw, who battled it.
He had arrangements where he was able to test orally for his classes ftmp.
I don't think any of us suspected a thing until he mentioned it when
finals came up and he wasn't going to sit for them with us.
He went on to be come a very respected professional in his field.

An inspiring story for sure and well worth sharing, if not with some of
the abusers here.
But then, what is?
You are your own reward.
