Hi there Reddit and ASU, I wanted to make a post to see if anyone else has been having issues with SAILS like I have been? For context im 20, on the spectrum, have complex ADHD with a severe anxiety disorder and Tourette syndrome as well as 2 spinal fusions and 2 leg surgeries... Last semester during finals SAILS put me in a different building without notifying me on the day of the exam causing me to have to walk between both buildings several times. I was then given the wrong exam and halfway through completing it was told it was wrong and it was taken away from me and I was made to restart on the new exam which was double the length of the one taken from me! I was already stressed and the proctors literally sat at a nearby table and stared at me because I was ticking from my tourette's and I felt like a freak. Them during my other final the log on password wasn't working and I had to go wait in the hall for 15 minutes while the woman who was supposed to be fixing it chatted idly with others while occasionally trying to work on my issue. I was so stressed and had a horrible time of it.
I had then thought my troubles were over until last month during a chemistry exam I was accused of cheating.. CONTEXT: my father was on a business trip and I was anxious about his flight so I was checking my phone to see if he had landed yet. Anyways a proctor came in and ran over to where I was sitting and began rummaging through my belongings and when she didnt see my phone she grabbed me by the shoulder until I was too uncomfortable and had to acknowledge her presence.. she stared at me for minutes while I tried to idly work on my exam. Afterwards she pulled me into a small private room and told me I was being accused of cheating on the exam... she said if I needed to check my phone, I should have and I quote , "let the proctor use my phone to see if something comes up" which i was not okay with at all.. they told me to sort it out with my professor who didnt respond to my inquiries ever and I was told I now need to file an appeal.... my big question is I had a cheat sheet... why would I cheat on the exam? Anyways has anyone had a similar experience to me, please share down below if you have?
