Attended independent schools. No excuses for struggling?

sas1986

Hello everyone,

My entire school career was spent in the independent sector and I benefited from the smaller class sizes, teaching and support.

Do I have no excuses for struggling? I went to university and after graduating in 2008, I have struggled to find regular paid work and have struggled with my mental health.

I appreciate the support and guidance on here.

  • The special treatment of autistic kids in school isn’t designed to ‘fix’ then so they won’t need special treatment later on. It’s designed to help them achieve their potential. Kids that need special treatment in school will probably need it in university (although it may take a different form) and in work as well.
