[quote=Anonymous]OP, you hit a sore point. As a parent of an ADHD child, I worry about what the future has in store for my son. He is in 2nd grade with minimal accommodations for now, and I see all these parents clamoring for more accommodations for their SN children... which is their parental duty on the face of it. But then what? Are we all making sure that our children know their own strengths and weaknesses, recognize they should not feel entitled about their accommodations, and that they may have to struggle harder than anyone in their chosen professional field? So the crux is self-knowledge, the will to work, and realistic expectations of the workplace and of the goodness of fit with their abilities. Which means my son is probably doomed to be a professor/researcher of an abstruse branch of knowledge like his father :-) You do your job and pick the best candidate. We'll do ours.[/quote]
