[quote=Anonymous]My child is 2E and has chronic illness. They did not discuss either in their essay. It isn’t the most interesting thing about them, nor does it define them. One college counselor said they should write about their autism because our child did lots of interviews for SLACs and it “might be obvious.” Another counselor was neutral, possibly leaning against writing about it. Because face it, there is still discrimination about neurodivergence no matter what schools say. My child wrote about their special interest (not mentioning autism). I am very against cliche topics that kids write about e.g. my autism (sickness, misfortune) taught me or I overcame… boring. Your kid has the ability to write about a special interest they have been devoted to since they were young. It shows intellectual curiosity, dedication, and is outside the box. My kid’s essay was praised as very unique and they got in ED to their top choice. [/quote]
