[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC was diagnosed with ADHD in college and received accommodation. Not surprising, since it runs in the family. Prior to diagnosis, National Merit Finalist and 1,580 SAT, obviously without accommodation. Full merit tuition ride at a T-20. All A in HS and still all A in college. I understand OP's skepticism, but perhaps should keep an open mind since every kid is different.[/quote]
DC got that far without it: why is the accommodation necessary now? [/quote]

PP. Because he was diagnosed with ADHD. That was the point made: diagnosis of a mental health condition followed with a proper course of treatment. The need for diagnosis was based on symptoms unrelated with academic / EC performances.[/quote]
In other words, academic accommodations were unnecessary — but enjoy the extra time[/quote]

If your gastroenterologist found malignant polyps during routine colonoscopy, would you refuse removal of the malignant polyps because it hasn't gone full blown cancerous yet? Mental health is real, just like physical health.[/quote]
