How embarrassing, to work in the office of graduate studies, and insist someone with ADHD can't have an accommodation because "we only give this to people with chronic conditions"... shouldn't people who assess accommodations have an iota of knowledge about conditions?🧵#ADHD
This just occurred to me today. The people assessing whether they are going to give out accommodations or not, to students with disabilities, literally don't even understand said disabilities let alone their impacts on students...but someone thought it smart 2/x
To put them in charge of whether students are granted support or not? Like they'll literally tell you, as a student, after you've jumped through a bunch of hoops "actually sorry I don't think you need this, I've determined your needs are being met" when they know nothing 3/x
About your condition?! Even after Accessible Education has said they support your need for the accommodation you are asking for... imagine lacking the self awareness to know how ignorant you are being? I just... who designed universities?! They don't make sense.
Not to mention if you google "Is ADHD chronic?" the first result you get on google is the Mayo clinic and it quite literally says "ADHD is a chronic condition"... the lack of effort it would take not to be wrong... phew
