Talk to your guidance counselor- make an appointment to discuss your options. Do what it takes to finish. Sometimes you can do a work/study situation for extra credit, an internship, or a summer theatre program. DO WHAT IT TAKES TO FINISH.

Congratulations! It takes a lot of gumption to turn down the easy way out and pick up a certificate instead of a true diploma.
Those extra four credits are going to be hard to do, but judging by what you wrote, and the way you wrote it, you have learned to work with your learning disorder. At least, your spelling and your grammar are much better than the average posted on this site! Would it be possible for you to challenge a course? Sometimes if you have to take, for example, Home Ec 1 and Home Ec 2, you can challenge the program, take the Home Ec 2 course and if you complete it you get credit for both 1 and 2. This really only works for optional courses, though. The other possibility might be taking one or two extra courses by correspondence, but if you are coping with a learning disability, that might be a tall order. Does your school give credit for such things as music and drama? Could you challenge in that area?
Other than that, it looks as though you are going to have to spend an additional semester in your school to pick up those four credits.
That might seem hard, but in the long run, it's worth it. And you sound as though you have the determination and the ability to succeed.
Good luck to you.
