I'd bet Stephen Hawking takes a little more time to do things than his office mates. Needs a bit more technology too, probably.

...come on not in primary and secondary school. Some adult people have earned the right to chill on the sofa like today's children.

Yes. Accommodations for everyone, because we all know that life will make accommodations for us when we are adults. Lots and lots and lots of employers are more than happy to give extra time to employees to do the work that their office mate can do in half the time. Come on folks. We are crippling our children, by not allowing them to develop the skills to cope. My husband and brother would both have been classified as special needs and would have received accommodations under today's standards. Back in the day they learned to find away around their "disabilities" and now both are highly successful. All these "accommodations" even into college are creating false expectations and people who have never learned a method for overcoming their challenges.

Do you have a job (outside of the home)?

Have you heard of 508 compliance? Assistive technology?

I do not have 1 employee that I have not had to make some type of accommodation at some point in their time working for me.

Have you heard of unemployment and the concept of unemployment rates? Do these folk get accommodation?

Sounds like you hire nannies, help and illegal immigrants and don't report to the IRS.
