[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens when these kids make it through college (presumably with accommodations) and then enter the working world? I'm not aware of employers making accommodations. [/quote]

Then you are not aware of a lot; I am in big tech and my employer makes accommodations for all kinds of needs arising from neurodivergence and employees themselves are very active in sharing their own strategies, including the technology they have learned to use to help them be productive. As we get older we can find the kinds of working situations that fit our differences and develop ways to address any deficits. Kids in the classroom and taking standardized tests don't have the wide options adults enjoy. I am happy that we are not just dismissing children who need extra time or other support to become the most productive and happy members of society they can be and think often about my classmates who were pushed to the side due to lack of understanding a generation ago.
