[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the problems is that parents and their children start to believe their own hype.

If you think it's not possible for somebody who doesn't belong in a position where he could hurt someone to end up there, take note of the case of Dr. Duntsch AKA Dr. Death. He killed and maimed all sorts of people before he finally lost his privileges. I know he wasn't necessarily a slow processing speed person, but let's not pretend that people who have no business becoming surgeons, pilots, or bus drivers can end up doing just that. He's living proof of this. There need to be some tests that provide a screen for whether someone can think quickly on their feet where nobody is given extra time. Otherwise, you end up with people who think they're qualified to do work they shouldn't be doing. If there were any job where you'd think there are dozens of safeguards to prevent someone unqualified from getting it, it's neurosurgeon. Yet it happened.

Wow. If anyone doubted the ableism of posters in this thread, here we have someone comparing disabled kids with processing disorder to a murderer.

You are vile PP. Absolutely vile. And my disabled kid does not qualify for extra time. [/quote]
