[quote=Anonymous]My kid has ADHD and autism and receives accommodations in college for it. I've been helping him, NOT with pulling strings from my network, but by issuing reminders about not procrastinating and applying to things before the deadline. He's received help from the career center. I had to tell him that whether or not there's a firm deadline, most internships are filled early... something he has trouble acting on, because he has a hard time understanding "vagueness" or unsaid/unwritten rules. Plus there's the procrastination factor. Sigh. The reason I don't want to ask favors of people I know is that this will be his first internship, and he's probably going to be incompetent. I don't want to burn bridges with acquaintances who can help him down the road, in a few years, when he shapes up! :-) Best of luck to your kid, OP. [/quote]
