[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno about you all but test taking is not one of my regular job duties. Everyone has different strengths. Not being able to finish a test quickly is not a death knell for success in the workplace. The issues that drive the need for the accommodation are what might get in the way, and that will depend on the specific job.[/quote]

No sh*t. But many (most) jobs require you to prioritize work and complete it in a timely manner to the standards required by your boss. People with “adult ADHD” are not going to be able to get out of these requirements for the pace & accuracy of their work on the basis of their disability. [/quote]

DP: The point of ADHD accommodations in schools is to help the student learn and show what they know in spite of the disability, while simultaneously teaching them with supports how to develop the executive function skills that do not come naturally to them due to the disability. Diagnosed early enough and with correct supports in school, this person will have the tools they need to manage the issue in adulthood. They should be and are able to function in the workplace just fine.[/quote]
