that's great, but as a boss I don't care about your extremely creative mind when you are unable to meet deadlines.

Don’t worry boss. PP’s kid will be using AI to creatively meet your deadlines, and will probably taking over your position sooner than you think.

More likely PP's kid will be overwhelmed trying to make it to work on time.

There's an element of truth to it. The sooner people realize it, the better off their kids will be. 20 some years of special extensions has drawbacks.

The point is that they learn from the accommodations and become self-sufficient. Our kid is about to graduate from college, which we never could have imagined 10 years ago. But with dedicated professionals guiding them, they learned and thrived.

That's great for you kid. Hopefully op's kid can learn self-sufficiency too. And hopefully they can get jobs and be productive members of society. But clearly other parents posting plan to continue to expect accommodations for their children well into adulthood and that is not a wise or practical expectation.

OP’s kid can’t even open a textbook and you expect it to use AI?

You should be ashamed of yourself for denying reality.

Yes, because you don’t need to open a textbook to use AI. You don’t even need to get out of bed and get somewhere on time to use it.

I said that ADHD kids can learn to meet deadlines. But can you learn creativity? No, that is a gift, and I very much doubt you have it. I can play this game--you are a mere drone. But this is a stupid game of blame by petty women wasting their time--or maybe kids. Anyway, OP will get some good advice on this thread and should ignore the nastiness. As always on DCUM.

You don’t need to get out of bed and go somewhere to use a textbook either. Most college kids don’t.

That’s not “clear” at all. You’re just grasping for ways to deflect your prejudice against kids with special needs and the necessary accommodations they receive as they are growing up and learning to be self-sufficient.

Accommodations in college are a sign of failure to parent during the 18 years you had them.

Let’s let this ignorant statement sit here and stew in its own toxicity.
