Here's a question --

If you ask for accomodations for your SAT exam, does that necessarily mean that the colleges that you send your SAT scores during the application process will KNOW that you are on the spectrum?

Also, are there accomodations other than the following for taking the SAT exam?

1. 50% more time
2. A separate room
3. Taking different sections of the test on different days

Actually colleges will not know because of confidentiality is enforced. Only the scores will be sent to your colleges of choice. When you provide documentation to your college's ODS (Only ODS has the information and remains confidential).

No. They (SAT people/board) don't find out. Only your school/testing site location's people know so you get the accommodations when you go for the test (but they only find out if/when they say something like "all people who need accommodations go to this room/area for the test", or if you take the test w/ those who don't need accommodations & have to ask to continue your test afterwards.
