<p>And how do you know that a fallout happened? What usually cases fallouts with advisers?</p>
<p>I’m just wondering, since I have severe ADD (I’m much better thanks to medications, but meds are no cure), and this has caused several incidents already (I haven’t had any fallouts SINCE starting on medication, although there is one possible advisor that I still may have a fallout with). I’m really really trying to become more mature though, and to learn from my mistakes. But it is extremely important for me to have an adviser who understands ADD, and it is going to be hard to identify which advisers are more likely than others to understand it (I even use ratemyprofessors.com to look up prospective advisers)</p>
<p>I’ve never heard anyone having that severe of an issue with an advisor–much less two. Psychiatric condition or not, this doesn’t bode well with past and potential future advisors.</p>
<p>It does seem, though, that fallouts between grad students and their advisors are more common…</p>
<p>Well, okay, the thing with undergrads is this: they often quit halfway through their research (oftentimes when they do research in the schoolyear) - quitting is often not their intention, but they may have to quit for several months. And then professors might not reply to their emails (and might not consider taking them again). That’s what I actually meant by fallout.</p>
