[quote=Anonymous]The first PP is so incredibly smug, and forgets that some people have serious disorders that don't just magically handle themselves the day you graduate from high school.

My 12th grader with severe ADHD and mild ASD, along with several medical diagnoses, will need extended time in college, at minimum, if not for a single room and single bathroom. He was accepted to McGill, St Andrews and severe colleges in the mid Atlantic. He is getting a full neuropsychological evaluation at Stixrud next week, since his old one is out of date, and we will work with the disability office of whichever college he picks. We know US universities tend to give better accommodations than ones abroad, so that is factoring into his decision.

At the admitted student days we've attended, I noticed that certain colleges have a mental health and wellness panel where they talk about counseling/psychiatry/medical services. I assume those are the ones most likely to lend a sympathetic ear to students with such needs. McGill and our in-state flagship did not breathe a word about it. George Washington University had a whole session about it (with campus safety included, which makes sense, since it's right in the center of DC).
