[quote=Anonymous][list][quote=Anonymous]I switched from a MoCo public to a top private school in 1998. In the MoCo school I wasn’t aware of anyone with an ADD accommodation or meds (although I’m sure there were some). At the private school, there were numerous kids with extended time and/or adderall. Later in a top college, tons of adderall and lots of people deploying it strategically to enhance academic performance. Bottom line I don’t think top private schools are a good sample in any way, because the factors and pressures that come with that population are so much bigger than any actual population changes in neurodiversity. [/quote] Growing up and attending different schools, I observed that the kids who had “minor” learning disabilities were usually the not super smart children of high achieving wealthy parents. Maybe things are different now.[/quote]
