Sounds typical of colleges and universities - they don't want nor need parental input, generally. Even my DS who started university at 16 had to handle things himself.
It isn't a matter of who has a worse disability (and I feel like that's what you're trying to establish by listing out all your DD's conditions).No, it was not my intention...AT ALL.

I don't have all of her "issues/allergies" listed at the bottom of every one of my posts, as many do.
That is the only reason that I listed them.
I am also not a new member, as my post would indicate. I have been here for about 7 years. I was gone for a while and when I came back, I could not log in, and had to create a new username.
I am well aware of FERPA and have had much experience with it.
My daughter was given 5 new meds in August of this year and had 3 ER visits because of that. She is still quite emotional and would just prefer to have me there with her, even though she is going to do all of the speaking herself...unless she looks to me for something she is forgetting, etc.
The "accommodation assistant" who we dealt with that day actually mentioned "peanut allergy" when we handed her the papers from the DR....this in a small room where 3 boys were working on something....and yes, all 3 of them looked up at us. KWIM?? I have a problem with that.
I know this is hard and I know this has to be done, but I just wanted some guidance. I thank those of you who have given me that. It is very much appreciated.
For those of you who have not.....you don't know me. Don't presume to. Please PM me, if you need something clarified.
