[quote=Anonymous]I agree it's often about work ethic. Extra time on tests can only help so much; you still need to develop study skills, time management skills, etc. to be successful in college. My brother-in-law has dyslexia and ADHD and has been extremely successful in his career because he works really, really hard. One explanation for someone like the OP's employee who did well in college but can't function in an office environment is helicopter parents. I know parents who manage their kids' lives in college, calling them to wake them up for class, reminding them of deadlines, corresponding with professors, even doing their assignments. Their parents obviously can't continue to be involved at this level in a professional environment, so the kids crash and burn. IMO the best thing you can do for your children, SN or not, is teach them to be responsible for themselves.

Of course there are disabilities that make it difficult for even someone with a good work ethic to succeed professionally, but I would think they would also have a hard time in college. I could be wrong.[/quote]
