[quote=Anonymous]Severe Dyslexia and ADHD, graduated double major with many honors and prizes and about to enter PhD program (both Ivy).

College was so much better because they had so much more control over their time and schedule, and so much less busywork/nonsense. They also had excellent accessibility support and fairly quickly started making good healthy decisions about managing life and health. I give so much credit to the accessibility services and faculty who helped make the transition of a thought process plagued with imposter syndrome to one of, I’m fine, I do the work, just a bit differently than many.

I also have one with ADHD running a very successful business. Does not believe the diagnosis and doesn’t make great choices. Hyperfocus is a superpower now but I think there will be some heavy consequences in the future. I know OP asked about dyslexia, but I mention this AC because I think the issue of accepting diagnosis is really key. This AC is much less healthy because so much of life is focused on proving the diagnosis wrong. [/quote]
