It seems to me that it would only be to your child’s benefit to register her disabilities. My sister-in-law’s daughter didn’t advocate for herself. She struggled mightily with studying, got poor grades and eventually dropped out of college. The story has a happy ending. After taking a year off she got her act together, enrolled in another college, did advocate for herself getting the accommodations she needed and graduated. She has a career now and doing quite well in general.
