Best Wishes - Those With Exam Results Thursday

DormouseAtRest_25

It is that time of year:

"Students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive A-level, T-level and BTec National results on Thursday morning."

If you know a young person / family member / household / neighbour / work colleague - where they might be tense about Thursday's exam results - awareness can go a long way towards being understanding and supportive - in sny exam event or outcome.

With hindsight; "Autistic me" at that age group receiving exam results: would have really appreciated more straight forward conversation on that day (instead of expecting me to have to try and mind read the thoughts of my trusted adults at the time).

  • I went to collect my GCSE results in August 2007. I was quite please to finally get them but that was that. I didn't talk to anyone at the school except the "Connexions" adviser who was desperate to write down what I was doing in September for bureaucratic reasons.

    Later on that day my mother wanted to know what my results were, and I refused to tell her, because she is the reason why I had to undergo humiliating and degrading "special treatment" when doing my GCSEs (the majority of pupils were just allowed to get on with it as normal). That led to one almighty row which culminated in one of us threatening the other with a knife while struggling in an awkward position on the floor (I can't remember which way round it went as I try to forget). 

    Honestly I'm surprised neither of us got seriously injured that day. But I do at least have a set of perfectly adequate GCSEs.
