And of course you wouldn't want to report to the college if a person has a disability, are you trying to scarlet letter everyone who needs a little more time to read from dyslexia?
My favorite professor was teaching number theory and always scheduled his classes for the end day and gave unlimited time for exams. Every time I would sit there for at least 5 hours (which wasn't super uncommon) and it was the nicest thing to not be freaking out and trying to force myself to focus.
Yes, you can (like many, many others) spend an extra couple hours at work every day, but it'll all come back to center eventually. Sometimes, or even much of the time, you won't even have that option. These are times when people seriously depend on you to perform.
It's not personal. I get that it can be stressful and I've been there but I don't kid myself that I'm as good as the people who can work quickly and under pressure.
The point is that not everyone gets diagnosed and has equal access to performance enhancing drugs and extra time when taking a competitive test.

I realize that it's easy to look at how stimulants affect people without ADHD and conclude that they're getting the same advantage but this really isn't true. A non-ADHD med example is caffeine. Most people who down a few coffees or energy drinks will be wide awake and jittery. But for me I'll be hyper and bouncing off the walls and spacing out until I have an energy drink which lets me focus a little bit and makes me sleepy.
