[quote=Anonymous]PP again. Also context matters - it’s usually good (barring previous caveats about type of disability matters) to discuss disability to explain low performance, especially if you’ve figured out how to navigate/manage your disability and succeed academically. It can also be compelling to talk about learning how to succeed in your personal life (such as the experience of an autistic kid learning how masking has impacted them). But in general, disability related essays come off better in the context of good enough grades, good enough extracurriculars, or having a story of having learned how to navigate the world with your disability. But really, there are a lot of ways such an essay can go wrong, so if the story doesn’t have a neatly wrapped up ending, or have an overall positive trajectory, I would avoid it.[/quote]
