[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, what do you mean by “ALL” the accommodations. My son has autism. He gets extra time to take exams. He’s brilliant, but he’s a very slow writer. I don’t think his future career studying fossils and rocks will be impeded all that much by the fact that it takes him a long time to write.[/quote] +1 School in many ways is such an artificial environment that is not at all like the working world. People can choose to pursue jobs that are a better fit for what they are good at. Someone who hates to write is probably not taking a writing-heavy job. Success in school = being able to be good at ALL the things, and do them quickly. Success at work = being good at a more narrow set of things + good social skills.[/quote]
