Uni Successes! ANYONE OUT THERE!?

KaloJaro

Hiya,

I'm an 18 year old female aspie, and I will probably have to move to live on campus at uni alone....about 6 hours drive away from my mum.

I'm fed up (aka, terrified) about reading all these stories of people with any form of ASD being driven practically insane with stress and having to abandon their studies to go home.

So please, if you've been to uni, or are at uni, and doing ok, doesn't have to be brilliant, just ok or even coping, let me know! I'd really appreciate knowing what to expect!

Not sure whether I should put this in Education or General so I'm going with general, as its not the actual learning I'm worried about, its the living away from mum bit. :)

Thanks!

Katie.

  • Yeah, I went to Uni as a mature student age 22. I initally done a HND in Music Technology and got a Distinction in 13 modules, Merit in 5 and passed 2. I then done a Music Technology Degree and got a 2:1, I wasnt far away from a first.

    Im definately dyslexic as I found out 3 weeks before I left Uni, and I'm in the process of being diagnosed for autism (Im 29 now).

    Moving out of home is terrifying full stop in my opinion. I moved out of home at 18, so I'd already done the hard thing before I went to uni. I think lonliness can get hold of a lot of people ar Uni. I had a very supportive girlfriend, but lots of financial pressures.

    I personally think Uni was one of the best times of my life. I've never managed to achieve great success of have the same sense of achievement in a career.
