[quote=Anonymous]Tips from BTDT parent of 1 late dc ADHD w/anxiety but highly social and 1 profound Dyslexia /ADHD innatentive labeled 2E/GTLD by multiple educators, doctors, etc. FWIW, we NEVER sought this dx. It's NOT a flex being an outlier on multiple levels. But if you have a child like this, it's imperative to research schools receptivity to neurodiversity in general. 
Universities with well-regarded graduate schools in education and/or psychology are a good place to start. Also Catholic schools because they are supposed to put high priority on financial and academic accessibility. (I have no idea why. I'm not catholic.)

Visit disabilities office in person. What's the vibe? Is it well appointed, fully staffed, in prime location--not a basement. Search website and social media for posts from disabilities office and student groups about LD/ND. It should be VERY easy to find  things showcasing LD/ND related to students or academics. If you have to dig for results on keywords like ADHD or dyslexia, it might not be as LD/ND-friendly. as it claims.
