This 100 percent. My son receives accomodations for dyslexia. There are studies indicating that 20 percent of the population is dyslexic. His college required him to submit a full neuro psych evaluation with results from a battery of testing. He couldn’t just submit a doctor’s note. No doubt there are people out there who game the system. That was a big part of the varsity blues scandal where unscrupulous doctors were giving false diagnoses to wealthy clients. My issue with the Atlantic article is that there seems to be a lack of recognition of invisible disabilities. … and to answer @tsbna44’s question my kid functions very well in the workplace. He meets deadlines. He has never had a situation where a boss is expecting him to write an essay in an hour.
