I remember finally deciding to ask for accommodations for my ADHD during my senior year of Engineering undergrad, in 1 course. Very first exam I was sat alone in a small room, with the professor waiting outside. I overheard a professor walk by and ask mine, ‘proctoring an exam?’.
My professor says, ‘yeah, it’s for reasonable accommodations. I just don’t get why we have these students, if they can’t do it in the normal amount allotted to them, they can’t do it.’
All I could do was smile. I’d made it through school without asking for accommodations and the one time I did it some guy wants to jump up and wax poetic about darwinism or some shit. These people are just losers, they always need something to corroborate their world view and they will always find something.
I hope that professor never stops hearing people working in the field he teaches speaking just within earshot about him, saying "those who can, do, those who can't, teach"
It's not true but it would make him feel bad and that's good enough
Liberals when Nazi eugenics: how could this horrible tragedy have happened? Why did normal people go along with this? We may never know...
Liberals when capitalist ~~eugenics~~ ahem sorry, meritocracy: so true!!
After miserably “bootstrapping” my undiagnosed ass through engineering school, getting requisite experience and passing the 8 hr exam to become a licensed professional engineer, and about a decade of experience- all while heeding the advice of “JUST TRY HARDER TO FOCUS” - I finally got an adhd diagnosis.
I tried getting a reasonable accommodation for remote work (something I’d done for years prior - let alone during “lockdowns”) and was told (by hr) that not being in the office means I’m incapable of doing my job. So I settled for wfh two days a week, and as everyone else is in the office full time now, I now stick out like a sore thumb, and have been passed up for promotions despite glowing reviews because “there’s more to work than just completing projects.”
Not sure what it takes for people to feel a shred of empathy, but I hope it happens to them some day.
