Uni Successes! ANYONE OUT THERE!?

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.

  • Degree in Philosophy and Literature

    Degree in Computing

    Masters in Games Design (distance learning)

    I privately rented during my first degree (mainly due to bringing two cats with me) and so didn’t have to share halls with 9 other students which I think helped. I couldn’t wait to leave home and start my own adventure. Like regular Aspie life, find good calm bolt holes to be in and dip in and out if the experience as much as you like/want to. Good luck
