@sainfan, Look in the Learning Differences and Challenges - LD, ADHD forum, and you will see a number of useful threads on whether and how to disclose a disability. One of my kids (with a similarly uneven record) chose to disclose, the other has not. Options to disclose include having the GC mention it in their letter and/or putting it in the additional info section.

It is also worthwhile to contact the disability office at the schools you are considering as the level of real support varies tremendously from school to school.

Good luck!
