Seriously, anytime I get one of these forms in, I feel like scoring through all the sections and writing "come and live with us for a fortnight'. Then they would see what it's really like. Barstewards.

There’s someone that people think is me but it’s not me. I think they’re famous &on tv or a YouTube channel or something.
I’m completely different except I look a bit like them &have similar mannerisms.
They’ve ruined my life.
I write this account.
I don’t have learningdisabilities.

This was a wild question to me. I addressed this myth at Understood:  http://bit.ly/504orIEP

Text says "Do colleges view 504 plans as better than IEPs when students apply to college? Picture of a teen with streaks of blue and pink in her hair stapling papers together while looking at her laptop.
