[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please.  My kid was diagnosed in 2nd grade.  And it wasn't because of poor grades.  His grades were quite good and he was advanced in math.  We didn't pursue testing because we were thinking about the SAT down the line or because we were trying to give him an advantage.  We got them because the "elementary" school suggested we do so.  My son's issues are mainly attention, slow processing, and executive functioning.  It is a brain "disorder" which qualifies as a disability.  It puts him at a disadvantage against his peers -- technically.  It just turns out he is lightyears brighter than most of them.  This is what I think is maddening to many people.  But it is what it is, and because of it, my son has been highly successful in school, testing, and college admissions.  Sorry that bothers you all.  [/quote]

Your kid doesn't actually have a disability he is obviously quite bright.  So why accept accommodations?[/quote]
Not PP, but that is a false dichotomy.  It is a whole lot more complicated than that.[/quote]
