    You definitely need to apply right now for IP because your IB is going to run out in the summer.
    I know it’s very stressful but gather up as much evidence as you can and, most importantly, write a letter from yourself to go with the application form, describing a day in your life and all the difficulties you have. Don’t worry about grammar or spellings just pour your heart out.
    Best of luck op it’ll be a great comfort to you when you get it.
