Struggling in Business Ethics class - School and College Life

I?m really having some issues with my business ethics class. I?m sure it?s directly related to my Aspergers because it?s a subjective topic and I?m a black and white thinker. I do well at math, computers and science not subjects like law, humanities, literature, etc. I don?t know what would help me do better in subjects like this or if I should say anything to the instructor. First, I do not have an official diagnosis and, second, I don?t want to just be coping out, blaming my ?disability?. That said, I think this is much harder for me to study than the average student.

I studied hard for yesterday?s exam and most of the questions were based (loosely) on the ideas in the assigned reading rather than directly relating to the reading. Forest vs trees, I suppose. I was studying definitions and laws and she gave us scenarios and ?What do you think this person meant when they said ?[insert quote]??? I have a very hard time understanding peoples thoughts, motives, and rationalizations so I have difficulty answering questions like this. Even if I explained my issue to the instructor I?m not sure how she could help me. I know she gives a dyslexic classmate extra time on exams but I really don?t think extra time on an exam would help me understand how NTs think.

Has anyone had this struggle? Did you find anything that helped? Should I say anything or just slog it out and hope I pass?
