[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re a functional person who has fake accommodations because in 2026 the world demands perfect scores and perfect grades coming out of school, but without those accommodations you’d be a 1980-era 3.5/1450, then you’re a smart person who is willing and able to play the game, so I’d expect you to do well in a work environment.

Agreed. They do just fine because they didn't need them to be functional. They put them in place to game the system and be perfect. So in the end they enter the workforce just like everyone else.  [/quote]

Agree with both of these.

It's the flip side of the 40+ successful adult who suddenly claims to be disabled due to a late in life ADHD diagnosis, and then when you express surprise that someone who got straight As all the way through school, attended a top law school, and worked at a high level firm for years, was somehow secretly impaired, they explain that they were just "masking."

We've completely upended the definition of what it means to be disabled or limited, in order to allow privileged people to claim special status. The comparison to DEI is apt because they are related -- this is how privileged people responded to DEI. They accepted DEI as the correct course, and then found a way to assign themselves protected status. Neat trick![/quote]
