Has the NAS carried out any research into what the most difficult and troublesome subjects are in secondary schools for students with ASD, and why?

  • I hated languages, literature and art.

    Sports were an absolute nightmare. I did everything I could to avoid Sports. This caused me so many problems. Including, extreme stress and anxiety. Finally, at some point I was exempt from Sports. That was a huge relief.

    My favorite subjects were Algebra, Geometry, History, IT, Geography, Chemistry, Astronomy and Biology.

    Languages, Literature, Art and Sports caused me a lot of problems and headaches.

    I was struggling so much with Literature, Art and Sports.

    I have almost zero interest in sports now.

    Then the horrors of school changing rooms... I only ever attended the rooms once and I refused ever to go to them.
