I'm worried that I don't have what it takes to go through

Most (decent) universities have some sort of learning support service where they can help you if you have a learning disability. You could also take a smaller course load so you can spend more time on the material

You're fucked, college is mainly about regurgitation and explaining what you learned.

Hit post too soon.

It also depends on what you study. If you study something that's more holistic and less skill based, then you might have an easier time. Your disability sounds like it mostly affects things that can be separated into discrete concepts, like solving a particular type of math equation. You might be better at something that's perhaps more essay-based

If that's what you're finding, then you're doing college wrong.

You sound a bit like me. Unless you're willing to put the huge amount of effort in to learn what you need to learn and study (you will need to learn a lot) college/university will not be worth your time.

I tried a physics degree. I didn't put enough effort into my studies, so despite attending every lecture in my course I flunked my first year exams and my retakes. It was a waste of a year and several thousand pounds.

You will not be able to have nearly as much fun as your classmates.

I'm the same way, OP. I have a hard time learning stuff by reading. Try this: once you read a paragraph, summarize it in 2-3 sentences on paper. Once you're done with the chapter, read what you wrote. You can also try another method, which depends on the format of your textbook. For the chapter you're reading, write down all the titles and headers of every paragraph and such, but leave enough room between them to write your 2-3 sentences there. You could also draw diagrams and stuff instead of writing sentences or a mix of the two.

I hope this helps

Find your student disability center. Look up accommodations for learning disabilities online and propose them if the ones the disability center proposes would not be helpful for you.

If there's a learning mode other than reading text that works better for you, you could try to find out how to get your study materials in that format.

Theoretically there's supposed to be help to even the playing field for disabled people in college, but my experience and that of other people I know is that you will still have a harder time, especially if you don't advocate for yourself. I got my BS in a STEM field at least, though, and I have multiple disabilities that affect energy and cognition and focus.

By the way, if you decide against it or you drop out, don't feel bad. College is set up to physically and mentally torture even nondisabled people.

It's what I've found too. Universities are corrupt conglomerates that exist to promote the failed Pearson education guidelines.
