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.

  • To add to what Longman is saying (but from my perspective): I done some voluntary work in a local music venue (as I studied music tech), it greatly helped me understand thesis from the classroom in a real environment, its great for the CV and to be honest it was good fun.

    When I went for job interviews I would say that employers found this as important as the qualifications. From what I'm aware not many graduates from my course got a job relevant to the degree they studied for, mainly due to this. Even those with firsts.
