Same! Not only that, I was actually pretty decent at math but due to my ADHD I just understood things differently than those around me. I would figure out other ways to find the same answer for a math problem, and so I'd get things right more often than not. But when I was either asked to show my work or to help others learn the stuff, I was at a complete loss. I get where the teachers come from on things like this, they want to make sure that what they are teaching is sticking and that you're ready to progress. But a student shouldn't be failed just cuz they don't do things the exact way a teacher wants them to. That stifles creativity and just created carbon copies of the teacher.

Professors are also usually happy to work with you if you have personal issues such as showing up to another of their class on the same topic or visit them during their office hours. I have a friend who's a collage professor and he tells me so many stories of people pulling all sort soft crap like this and he's incredibly lenient. Most of the time, despite his best efforts to me his students half way, they tend to fail during finals. Or have a low passing score, which won't help you if you need to then take a higher course but barely passed the prerequisite course.
