[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, people have an unconscious bias against autism. I would not disclose this diagnosis when applying for admission. I say this as a parent of an autistic child.[/quote]

Yes- the harsh replies here confirm that.[/quote]

AO here again, with fka-Aspergers diagnosis myself.  Do not disclose autism before admission.  It’s far too risky.  Do feel free to disclose how your child has assisted other autistics, that’s fine and very nice.  But don’t out your child unless you’re 100% sure he’ll get in anyway (like, you have a named building or endowed chair).  That’s not to say it never works, but it is RISKY and the neurodivergence awareness/insight essays are overdone.  I pass on every single one.  They read like lazy ChatGPT.  [/quote]

I hope you get discovered and fired and sued for your unconscionable and illegal discriminatory behavior.

Everyone else, observe that this is the ghouls "holistically" evaluating applicants. Keep that in mind next time you consider how "prestigious" a school's student body is, when the AO is just looking for people whom write to match the self-hating AO's own prejudice and make her feel better about herself and her failure to get a real job by rejecting people who remind her of herself.[/quote]

Plenty of other reasons they’re rejected.  It isn’t illegal to reject poorly written essays because they’re poorly written.  And AOs aren’t all “job” positions; mine isn’t.  It isn’t that kids remind me of me; they don’t.  I reject their essays because they’re irritating copycat themes that are poorly written.  Claiming expertise on your own special brain at 17-18 is off-putting. Everyone hates those essays.  Don’t hate me for being honest about the process.  [/quote]
