That makes me feel more relieved at least there’s a filter for these situations but not being able to ask questions still doesn't make sense.

to be fair, it's not as bad as you think

there is a Disability Office that must check their status and approve their accommodations... but then they tell us what the accommodations are and we are not allowed to ask why.  

So there is *some* checking, but of course a lot of abuse still probably does happen.

And what if the student lies, claiming to need a special accommodation because they have "autism"?

I still can't believe it; this is a lot like the case of that teacher from France (I think it was France) who was arrested for not using gender-neutral pronouns. What rubbish.
