[QUOTE="confusedbird, post: 200000, member: 38007"] Hi, I'm sorry if this comes off as mean or anything ..I promise I'm not trying to be. I see where you are coming from but there are aspects of the situation you might not have considered like - not everyone's support plan has all the reasonable adjustments they might need. Additionally, if OP was recently diagnosed or hasn't asked for adjustments before, it is very nerve wracking because they themselves might not know what they need or are entitled to. It's hard figuring out what you need and what is the impact of your neurodiversity on your life, especially if you're late diagnosed. Asking for 'what they can get' can also be interpreted as them being anxious and not wanting to overburden gradrec / be dismissed by them. A lot of us were not privileged/lucky enough to be diagnosed early and assuming their intentions based on your interpretation feels plain wrong. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. All I'm trying to do is point out the other side of this situation. Hope you understand and we can all support each other through this very exhausting process! [/QUOTE]
