To other autistic people, did/do you ever struggle to take notes during classes?

I don’t even try taking notes anymore. I’ll write down a due date or something a long those lines if need be but not much else. I can’t write and listen at the same time so if I try to write something down, even if I’m just copying from the board, I will miss what the teacher is saying. I can do slightly better if I’m typing instead of handwriting but not by much. Mostly I just focus on listening and have my hands stim with something.

Pretty much the same here. I’m also HOH besides the auditory processing problems, and it’s really hard to try to lipread and take many notes without getting totally lost. Typing might help some, but handwritten it just doesn’t work.
