> What is your opinion of one of the most concerning counterpoint (in my opinion): that we are normalizing prescription stimulants and accommodations for individuals that otherwise don’t need them / could succeed without them.

First, the question of university accommodations is completely separate from the question of prescription medicine. I don't have any opinion about the rate of prescriptions for things like ADHD, largely because I have no information. For university accommodations I am not aware of compelling evidence that they are being over-granted for people who do not need them. Notice how all of this panic stops at "lots of people have listed disabilities" and don't actually demonstrate that these people are getting oodles of accommodations. My experience as a spouse of a professor is that a ton of students with registered disabilities nevertheless do not get any form of special treatment and there has been literally zero change in her ability to evaluate students even when they do get accommodations.

You can be concerned about stimulants if you want. That is a totally different topic.
