Crazy test results

[onemoreyear]

Honestly, this is for anyone who has ever had to ARGUE that their ADD was debilitating, and that ADD as a disorder has NOTHING to do with intelligence or potential.

On an untimed reading test, I score in the 97th percentile for Comprehension. On a timed reading test, I score in the 2nd PERCENTILE for Comprehension.

Recently a member of the Educational Testing Service (administers LSAT, GRE, SAT, etc) claimed that ADHD was NOT a learning disability, and that there is nothing to suggest that I need extra time to take the GRE. I am so sick of the stigma surrounding our disorder, and the intractable mentality of the general populace...

ADHD is debilitating, otherwise we wouldn't be any different from other people!

ADHD was NOT a learning disability,

Actually ADD is classified as a neurobiological disorder which does not fall under the same umbrella as things like dyslexia; however the DSMV does classify it as a disorder so you should qualifify for the protection provided to those who are classified as "disabled"

Due a statement referring to timed test in your post I believe this site may be of assistance...
