[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real question is what will many kids do with their lives once they graduate and all of the accommodations go away? My nephew graduated from an expensive LAC years ago and could never hold down a job - has been fired too many times to count for executive functioning issues. He still a young man and is now on Medicaid, divorced, a deadbeat dad and my sister supports him. He can’t even hold down a retail job. College was a waste of time and money for him - perhaps trade school or programs focused on life skills would be a better path for truly severe cases. I know a number of men like this, and life is extremely difficult and depressing for them. The simplest tasks are difficult to complete. ADHD has different levels of severity and the most severe cases seem to need more than college or grades to function in life. [/quote] You can get accommodations in the workplace [/quote]
