What kind of disability causes you to have problems with deadlines?

A student in one of my labs has a letter from the university discussing the accommodations we need to make for his disability. The only accommodation required is that we be lenient with project deadlines (aka, he can turn stuff in late for no penalty).

What kind of disability would cause this kind of issue? I'm just curious and don't want to ask the student.
 
IMHO even if it's a mental issue it's not an excuse to turn in work late. By getting a degree you're indicating you can perform the work in that field at the average level of students the university outputs. To allow the student to work slowly yet receive the same degree it is misleading to any business the student may be hired by.
 
I wonder who is going to write him a note for his boss if he ever gets a job. The kiddies these days are fucking pathetic.

This.

What if a person with no hands wants to become a surgeon? They cant perform the tiny actions so cant pass the exams, but they are given a pass because they have a disability.

Great...

I agree. He showed up to the first lab due check-in without having even started the lab. While everybody was turning in their labs, he was just beginning to consider doing it and it seemed like he had no problem with that.

Makes me question how he's going to survive in the real world.
 
Chronic Fatigue...? Depression?

There is no "degree" in "surgeon". Are you saying that a physician (M.D. or D.O.) could not practice ANY sort of competent medicine unless they have all their hands, feet, arms, and legs?

It would be pretty hard. I mean, House copes, but he still has to have a team of doctors to work with him, and he can still walk and carry things. No hands would mean no examinations, no prescriptions, etc.

Don't be pedantic. I didn't say a normal physician, I specifically said SURGEON. How could someone with no hands be a surgeon?

Are you fucking retarded?
