I would talk to your school counselor/psychologist about your thoughts and suspicions. They of all people have been trained to get you the help you need and answer your questions. Don't let yourself get bulldozed by the teachers who don't agree with you. If you think it's something you may have, definitely find out. It will be SOO much better to either get the diagnosis or have it ruled out. Just remember, we're all here to give you the support and advice we know you need, so don't be afraid to ask any questions.

And oh yeah, Good luck!
