I have to believe that the majority of claims for disability accommodations are not as extreme as the article makes it seem. If somebody requires a quiet place to do their best work then what do we gain from forcing them to produce something sub-par due to unnecessary extra variables that we are in a position to control for in cases where they are a factor. Yes, that quiet space to work is not available in all careers but I am sure that the person in question will take that into consideration when they are trying to judge whether a certain office atmosphere is right for them when they are on the job hunt. 

I would rather have somebody produce great work in an accommodated setting and then go on to produce great work in a place that also fits their needs then perform terribly in university and end up in a position where they are unable to contribute to their full potential/
