On April 5, 2012, I had an extremely unexpected meltdown where I screamed, threw a book in the air, pushed another student, grabbed the phone and slammed it onto the ground and walked out of the room.
I didn't even know what I was doing during this meltdown. Worse part was, my IEP teacher was there.
That teacher then wrote me up for Disorderly Conduct, Chronic Disruptions, and leaving classroom. I did go to an administrator and she called my mom to let her know that I had a meltdown. I wasn't being disciplined, but this might be on my permanent record.
I received a referral earlier this school year because I hit another student with my shoe, that never got put on my permanent record because I apologized to the student.
This is my first meltdown that got put on a referral. The referral is being documented so that means colleges will read it. Will this effect my entry to college?
No, they will not see it but if you don't get control of this, they will see melt downs on campus.
This.
If you can't control your behavior, either through self control or medication, you're not going to fit in well on a college campus, period. Go see someone if you haven't already. (You say you have an IEP Teacher, so I assume you have).
Certainly inform the college of the IEP after you're accepted and have paid. They will work with you. I've had students come to me at the end of the semester and pull it out, which at that point, it's too late to help the student and accommodate their learning disability needs.
