As a psychiatric provider I am all for disclosing neurodivergence. However I agree with previous comments that the college admission essay is not necessarily the appropriate place for such disclosure. I also wholeheartedly agree that there is nothing to be ashamed of with the grades she received. Sensitivity to perceived rejection, failure and criticism is a symptom of ADHD and leads to people pleasing and perfectionism.
To disclose or not disclose dip in grades reason during school closures. ADHD and depression got 504
