Incredible: Up to Forty Percent of the Students at Supposedly-Elite Universities Claim to Be, and Are Acknowledged by the School to be, "Disabled"

As you know, people who claim to be disabled get all sorts of privileges, like taking standardized tests -- to the extent they're even required any longer -- without any time limit.

But once at college, you can also use your "disability" to take all exams untimed, too.

Also, since white people are discriminated against unconstitutionally, it is even more useful to be able to claim you're a minority too, by faking a "disability." (Or, of course, by claiming to be some type of sexual minority, like "queer," which no longer means just homosexual but can mean being an "ally" of homosexuals.)

These factors plus universities now being clownshows that eat nonsense and shit failure have resulted in Stanford, supposedly an "elite" university accepting only the highest-performing students, having a student body that is 30% "disabled," almost always with some soft mental "disability" like "nuerdivergence." Things that cannot be easily disproved, in other words.

@DKThomp
This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics.
- At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled
- At Amherst: more than 30 percent
- At Stanford: nearly 40 percent
Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago."
As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability--extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc -- the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded.
America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.

Even Steve Jobs' ex-wife's vanity newsletter The Atlantic sees this as a problem.

America's colleges have an extra-time-on-tests problem.

Administering an exam used to be straightforward: All a college professor needed was an open room and a stack of blue books. At many American universities, this is no longer true. Professors now struggle to accommodate the many students with an official disability designation, which may entitle them to extra time, a distraction-free environment, or the use of otherwise-prohibited technology.

Like cell phones you can look up the answers on.

The University of Michigan has two centers where students with disabilities can take exams, but they frequently fill to capacity, leaving professors scrambling to find more desks and proctors. Juan Collar, a physicist at the University of Chicago, told me that so many students now take their exams in the school's low-distraction testing outposts that they have become more distracting than the main classrooms.
Accommodations in higher education were supposed to help disabled Americans enjoy the same opportunities as everyone else. No one should be kept from taking a class, for example, because they are physically unable to enter the building where it's taught. Over the past decade and a half, however, the share of students at selective universities who qualify for accommodations--often, extra time on tests--has grown at a breathtaking pace. At the University of Chicago, the number has more than tripled over the past eight years; at UC Berkeley, it has nearly quintupled over the past 15 years.
The increase is driven by more young people getting diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and by universities making the process of getting accommodations easier. The change has occurred disproportionately at the most prestigious and expensive institutions. At Brown and Harvard, more than 20 percent of undergraduates are registered as disabled. At Amherst, that figure is 34 percent. Not all of those students receive accommodations, but researchers told me that most do. The schools that enroll the most academically successful students, in other words, also have the largest share of students with a disability that could prevent them from succeeding academically.
"You hear 'students with disabilities' and it's not kids in wheelchairs," one professor at a selective university, who requested anonymity because he doesn't have tenure, told me. "It's just not. It's rich kids getting extra time on tests." Even as poor students with disabilities still struggle to get necessary provisions, elite universities have entered an age of accommodation. Instead of leveling the playing field, the system has put the entire idea of fairness at risk.

We can't just blame the universities.

Left-wing Congressmen are also to blame.

...
Change was slow at first, in part because Supreme Court rulings narrowed the scope of the law. Professors I spoke with told me that, even in the early 2000s, they taught only a handful of students with disabilities. Then, in 2008, Congress amended the ADA to restore the law's original intent. The government broadened the definition of disability, effectively expanding the number of people the law covered. It also included a list of major life activities that could be disrupted by a disability ("learning, reading, concentrating, thinking," among others) and clarified that individuals were protected under the ADA even if their impairment didn't severely restrict their daily life.
In response to the 2008 amendments, the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD), an organization of disability-services staff, released guidance urging universities to give greater weight to students' own accounts of how their disability affected them, rather than relying solely on a medical diagnosis. "Requiring extensive medical and scientific evidence perpetuates a deviance model of disability, undervalues the individual's history and experience with disability and is inappropriate and burdensome under the revised statute and regulations," AHEAD wrote.

So these dirtbag fraudsters are just self-reporting "I'm neurodivergent, I have ADHD" with no medical diagnosis at all and Congress says that we must treat this self-diagnosis as real.

Coincidentally, I just happened to watch this interesting video about people -- mostly women -- self-diagnosing themselves with a novel and quite fake new syndrome called "AuDHD," which is, supposedly, autism plus ADHD.

Autism, which involves fixating on something and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else, plus the inability to focus on something.

This woman, who I guess is a psychologist or psychiatrist, says that this fake diagnosis is gaining traction because psychiatrists just can't say "no" to patients. If some moron comes in claiming they are both hyper-focused and yet cannot focus, the psychiatrist just says "Yes."

Why are psychiatrists board certified if any asshole off the street can self-diagnose?

This woman points out that one of the women claiming to have this nonsensical diagnosis is clearly not autistic, as, for example, she admits she craves attention and validation -- something autistics usually don't care about -- and deploys strategies like "mirroring" and "love-bombing" to manipulate men into falling in love with her.

As she says: Autistics wish they could deploy the tactic of personality-mirroring to make people fall in love with them. But actual autistics cannot even understand other people's specific personalities, nevermind being able to "mirror" them, that is, act just like them so that the other person sees you as a kindred spirit.

If autistics could just "act like other people" then, get this, they would not be autistic.

But just as with the trans fad, young women are determined to diagnose themselves with some "hot" new mental illness, and just like with the trans fad, alleged medical professionals are too afraid to tell them that they're full of shit and need to grow the hell up.

So, get ready for the next Designer Mental Illness.

"AuDHD" is so hot right now, all the cool kids have it.

25 I'm a Type 1 diabetic since I was 4. (Genetic, not because I was a fatso).

I was encouraged back in the late 90's to claim that I was disabled when I went into a state university since it would have the government pay my tuition and get me advanced access to sign up for classes early. All I had to do was meet with some disability office or something.

I always thought it was a fraud - but I did it because I wanted to spare my parents the burden of paying my tuition. Then I started working part time during my sophmore year and thus paying my own way through school - and stopped claiming disability.

I'm not disabled. I can't eat cake. Thats not a f'ing disability.

29 If everyone is disabled, then no one is. These kids are only acting in their own self-interest. You can't blame them (or the parents) for that.

Being "disabled" gives you all kinds of advantages educationally and probably financially too. Any kid who doesn't do this, when everyone else is, is at a yuge disadvantage. If you can't beat em, join em.

If I could do college all over again, I would absolutely claim I was native american. I am to a tiny degree. Why not take advantage if everyone else is?

My biggest advice to any kid of today applying to college is to find some hook or angle -- anything -- that can make you some kind of minority. Putting down "minority" on your application (and later job resume, etc) will get you further in life than anything else will.

70 Fascinating move just now by Trump - he just pardoned Henry Cuellar, Democrat, past Texas Congressman who was convicted last year for bribery and corruption.

Now was Cuellar guilty? Of course he was, but probably no more guilty than any other Democrat Congressman, or Republican for that matter. So why was he singled out? Because he opposed Biden on immigration, and as a hispanic office holder from the border region, his voice carried some weight. So Biden's FBI crucified him.

Nice move by Trump.

________

Of course. The psychiatrist knows that if he doesn't say "yes," someone else will, and the first psychiatrist will lose a patient.

When I was a baby lawyer I was often asked to research and opine on proposed conduct or business decisions by clients. A client would want to do X, and asked a lawyer if it was legal.

Some of the Xs were way out there, clearly illegal. So my memo basically said "no you can't do this." The senior partner told me "never tell a client he can't do something. He'll just ask someone else and we'll lose a client. Say something like 'this would be risky, and here's how it might best be done to minimize the risk.' But don't ever say 'no.'"

In a room with longer time and access to printed materials due to their supposedly lesser command of our language. One from Poland got extra time even though she had a Phd in English!

So I got myself declared to have something wrong (I forget what) and got extra time my 2L and 3L years.

When I was a 3L, I took a test only open to 3L's. I was in an extra time room - with pretty much everybody on Law Review. And prior to the test, they were complaining how they weren't getting extra time on the actual State bar exam!

Posted by: 18-1 at December 03, 2025 01:35 PM (sKqQm)

It has been demonstrated (through real studies) that talk therapy is not very useful. Except for that poopulation you mention, the neurotics who just want someone to listen to them.

The concept in mental health these days is to use "evidence based" therapies, and if you are skeptical of that phrase, you should be.

However, the therapies that HAVE been shown to be effective for the more serious types of mental illness are the ones that use methods, other than "talk."

And if non-professionals are out there spewing their garbage about this and that, it just adds to the overall skepticism most people have of the mental health professions.

229 Of the comprehensive degradation of the society, seemingly no matter where you look, this is one I didn't know about. Though of course it fits right in with the unbelievably pernicious, toxic upside-down world that academia has become.

I recall my sister, back in the 90s, telling me what % of boys in her son's school were "diagnosed" and on some drug (presumably the ADHD one). I literally didn't believe her at first.

Every day brings a new revelation that confirms the amazing power of inertia - that the tsunami of self-inflicted ridiculous idiocy flooding the society hasn't yet resulted in general breakdown.

I disagree that it's not useful. It was Doug Adams or someone who pointed out the secret to relationships; if a man can have the stamina and self control to listen to whatever bullshit she is spewing until 4:10 AM without complaining, then suddenly she'll do whatever he wants.

253 Ace, you kinda buried the lede here. The main reason for this explosion of "disabilities" being recognized by colleges is the last part of your post: Congress drastically expanded ADA in 2008 to include virtually any "disability" anyone could invent. AHEAD went further by requiring colleges to basically accept a student's self-diagnosis.

Nobody despises colleges more than me and the wokeness than infects them. But this isn't their fault. This is all required by law. You can thank Congress for this. Congress could easily fix it. They won't.

------------------

That was ironic because he was also proud of not having any special considerations for his own disability.

Overcoming hardship is part of life. Yes we should make things accessible, and yes we should make allowances, but if you start telling people that they should give up and grift of their disability they lose a big part of life. Life is struggle.

These kids grifting because they understand college is not about education, it is about credential -- that is the start of the problem.

ADA was a mistake, and an extension of the "public accommodation" mistake. Fine for gov. to be inclusive and accessible but extending it to private business is theft.

Autism, which involves fixating on something and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else, plus the inability to focus on something.
Posted by: Ace at 01:20 PM

As an acronym, "AuDHD" must logically stand for Autism Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and they plainly have a profound lack of autism, so it is technically correct (the best kind of correct) that they are deficient in it. However, if they are trying to pose as autistic, they should not have chosen such a horrifyingly clunky term that no actual autiste could possibly tolerate.

It's been said, most Hollywood screenwriters are gay, so when you see a romance in a movie, where the two meet cute, and are "in love" quickly, it's basically the story of two dudes.

Except no one wants to see that, so they hire a female to play the "other male" part.

322 The 2022 film Violent Night features a Santa Claus who is revealed to be a bloodthirsty Norseman from his past, portrayed by David Harbour.
In the movie, Santa, whose real name is Nicomund the Red, was once a fearsome Viking warrior known for his brutal violence and pillaging, which he deeply regrets.
This dark origin explains his violent tendencies as he confronts a group of mercenaries who have taken a family hostage during Christmas.
The film, directed by Tommy Wirkola, reimagines Santa as an immortal Viking warrior who taps into his violent past to protect children, blending action, dark humor, and holiday themes.
A sequel, Violent Night 2, is in production and set for release in December 2026. You may now continue.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at

One of the ways I was manipulated by my ex-AH was being told over and over no one would want a single mom of a special needs child. It’s kind of a crappy thing, honestly, because not all of us wanted to be that. And I don’t think having a father in the picture paying their share and being an active parent makes you a single mom, either. But that is another conversation, and not my situation.

And the TT types are honestly closer to reality then the "men and women are exactly the same" people the FNM points young people to.

421 This is criminal, at least in spirit. These schools funnel state and federal money into bloated bureaucracies instead of education, pushing ideological nonsense while starving STEM, the arts, history, and literature. Our students can’t compete, and taxpayers are left funding the destruction of the country from within. Students walk away buried in debt for an education that leaves them at a disadvantage compared to graduates from other countries.

It shouldn’t be complicated: any school caught doing this should lose its funding without exception and be replaced by building new schools from the ground up. If an institution refuses to educate, let it fail and replace it with one that actually teaches. The academic system has been fucked up for decades, and it’s time to rebuild it around real learning, real accountability, and real outcomes.

There was a letter to Ann Landers ago that I remember, because it was so weird.

A woman wrote to Ann explaining that she was allergic to cold. I mean, not the usual female aversion to cold where they have to dial up the thermostat to the boiling point of water, but some possible fatal condition where the messed with her skin or something. So she had a handicapped sticker so that she could park as close to the building as possible in cool weather. But she said that other folks would always give her the stinkeye about it because she wasn't disabled and looked otherwise healthy.

I don't remember what Ann's advice was, though.

463 I'm sure they like the extra time and resources to take tests after they've gotten into these schools with these "disabilities", but I think the main reason this is so prevalent is that whites are using the "disabilities" as resume enhancers to gain a leg up on their fellow whites in admissions. You're not getting into these schools as a white without some sort of "victimization tale", hence the need to fake being trans and/or invent other "disabilities".

I like to recommend the animated A Christmas Story by Richard Williams (the guy who animated Who Framed Roger Rabbit):

It's only half an hour long, but it's quite beautiful.

Agreed. I love the old classics, with those singers who are long dead (except Johnny Mathis??), but I look for traditional carols played on period instruments from the times they were written.

Or big choruses, with orchestras. Or monks.

482 I divide Christmas songs into about four different categories:

1. Religious carols about the nativity of Christ (including Advent carols and the Epiphany carol "We Three Kings");
2. Songs about the celebration of Christmas (e.g., "Deck the Halls");
3. Santa songs;
4. Winter songs, celebrating snow (which everyone goes back to hating once the holidays are over), sleigh rides, etc.

496 At the University where I don't teach anymore, except then I need beer money (and I'm low on beer) the infantilization of the students is incredible. The staff are instructed to do everything they can to make sure all the little boys and girls feel safe and warm every day and especially around holidays and midterms. The goal of course is the make sure they return the next year. Private schools like this one are getting their financial asses kicked by a drop in returning sophomores and juniors.

Came out to find a nasty note on her windshield, telling her she had no business using that spot. She died a few months later.

Extra time on your test:

Back in my Army days, the first time I did my annual SQT test as an Infantry Private, I knocked that shit out in about 1/3 of the allotted time. First soldier to finish. The division SQT NCO asked me where I was going, and I told him I was going to the latrine and then waiting for the rest of the company. He responded "No, you aren't finished. Go sit back down and check your work." So I sat and looked at the test booklet for about 3 minutes without touching my pencil and then brought it up for grading.

Perfect score, bitchez.
