ADHD Handwriting?

I have extremely poor handwriting and im in the 10th grade. there are plenty of studies that link AD/HD to poor motor skills such as handwriting. I have a Thee Essay final in World History coming up. Each essay must be 5 paragraphs long and i only have a 90 min. time period to do it. Do you think i should ask if i could type the paper? i know i would do much better and would be able to complete the essays and not worry about keeping my handwriting readable. Also, Do you think i should be entitled to using a computer because of my problem or not? i know it could make some problems in the classroom because im not the only person with poor handwriting. Is it right to link it to my AD/HD and expect special treatment?

my teacher is old and kinda mean. any idea on who i should talk to maybe a guidance counsler?

First off, good luck with your essay and writing! You may be able to ask your teacher, but then other students will feel it is unfair that they can’t type theirs, too. However, if you do it on a computer, you probably will have to write it in a program that doesn’t have many tools, such as Notepad. The reason why is Microsoft Word corrects grammar and spelling. It also has a thesaurus. These tools enable you to write a better paper.
