[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accommodations are a joke.  30 year ago there were no kids diagnosed with adhd  and everybody did just fine.  But now mommy wants her kid to get into a prestigious school that isn’t a good fit but will let her boast to her friends and accommodations are sprouting like mushrooms.  And I’d guess the vast majority of accommodations are fake anyway....utter nonsense.[/quote]

No 30 years ago, bright girls with ADHD usually learned coping mechanisms, but they came with a price. Many had crippling anxiety and/or OCD as the competing demands outstripped their ability to balance them.

And ADHD boys hit a wall and started failing.  It might be MS, HS or college. But eventually, they couldn’t manage anymore. My first college boyfriend was brilliant, especially in math and CS.  And had a full academic scholarship to our T25 college. He was also almost certainly undiagnosed ADHD. He flunked out sophomore year.

30 years ago, MS and HS academics were less demanding, ADHD kids were labeled discipline problems, problems stemming from ADHD existed but were labeled something else. And ADHD boys, especially, failed. [/quote]

Thank you. Wow, the idiocy on this thread. Some of these people must live under a rock or have pent up jealousy towards others who have ultimately done better than them in life.[/quote]
