There may be some kids from well-off families getting bullshit diagnoses to justify IEPs that include accommodations like extra time on exams. There are definitely kids from not well-off families who have legitimate needs that are not met because they can't afford to pay for the medical evaluations to justify the accommodations. American colleges and universities have already been trending away from emphasizing high-stakes standardized tests in their admissions decisions. The tests themselves should be changed to make speed of answering not such a critical part of test-taking strategy. There would still be students with serious disabilities who would need additional time and other accommodations but there would be no need for extra time for kids with ADD, ADHD, etc., real or imagined.
