    Like anyone else's.

    If you've applied for and been given 'reasonable accommodation' for a specific learning disability, your scripts will be given to an experienced corrector and you may not lose marks for certain things, such as grammar and spelling. Outside that though, they are corrected like everyone else's.

    your papers will be marked the same however if your applyin for college you can apply through the cao via DARE.
    this form of entry is reserved for people with disabilities,colleges have a certain number of places allocated to dare applicants.
    these applicants are allowed into their chosen course with lower points then the mininmum required for normal applicants.
    luckily for you adhd is recognised by dare.
    if you have any further questions pm me.
    all the best and the best of luck with your exams
