Ideally, I would advise you to firstly explain how ADHD affects you during assessments, and why extra time is a reasonable adjustment in the sense that it helps mitigate a disadvantage you have when compared to other candidates and also enables the firm to better ascertain your true abilities and potential.It would also be helpful to cite any university/school policy to this effect, in that if you explain that your university considers it a reasonable adjustment to given you some extra time in assessments because of your ADHD, it is less likely that the firm would see this as an unreasonable demand. Worst case scenario, the firm may tell you they cannot offer you this adjustment because they see time-management under pressure an essential skill to test for the role of a trainee solicitor. Even if that is the case, I believe it is extremely unlikely the firm would take a negative view of you simply because you raised this enquiry.</blockquote>
