FAQ

If you have a diagnosis of ASD and other difficulties (such as Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity, an anxiety disorder, or dyspraxia), it is recommended to request accommodations for ASD.

In the documents to be provided, you must also include a recent evaluation that attests to these other difficulties (see required documents in the corresponding tabs).
