Which illnesses count? Why does dyslexia count but not lower IQ? Why is there a time limit at all?
The point is that not everyone gets diagnosed and has equal access to performance enhancing drugs and extra time when taking a competitive test.
- Spivak 7y ago> What illnesses count? The ACT has a huge list: http://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/registration/accommodations/policy-for-accommodations-documentation.html#types http://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-... > but not lower IQ It's always great when people compare learning disabilities to being dumb. > performance enhancing drugs I realize that it's easy to look at how stimulants affect people without ADHD and conclude that they're getting the same advantage but this really isn't true. A non-ADHD med example is caffeine. Most people who down a few coffees or energy drinks will be wide awake and jittery. But for me I'll be hyper and bouncing off the walls and spacing out until I have an energy drink which lets me focus a little bit and makes me sleepy.
