[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Just like I want to know how many kids you have at home that ma[/b]y cause issues when I'm hiring you, I want to know what kind of special accommodations you need to work for me.

A standing desk and a special chair?  Done.  Want to balance on a ball?  Take two!  [b]If I give you a project that takes 3 others on your team 10 days to complete and you tell me you n[/b]eed 20... eh, not so much.  Why would I hire someone who needs double the amount of time to complete one task?  For the same salary I can find one who can do it in 10 days like the others.

I predict more self employment and entrepreneurship in the future, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.  N[b]o way these ADHD kids to adults are going to make it in a normal 9-5 setting [/b]with strict deadlines.

I bet disclosing their special accommodations would dissuade parents from having their kids tank the screening tests to get the diagnosis.  If I require you to send me you college transcript a[b]nd I saw that you made a 4.0 at Yale but needed twice the time of the 3.5 kid from JMU, I'm passing on you. [/b]       [/quote]

First and last bolding: Illegal hiring practices.
Second bolding: A complete misunderstanding of LDs and how they work.
Second to last bolding: And yet, ADHD adults RIGHT now are in the workplace. And they have been for a couple or so decades of diagnoses and accommodations. And they are doing just fine.

Overall, you are wrong on just about every single count.
