Autism and University

Hi, my son will be going to Bristol Uni in Sept to study Computer Science. Any advice, hints or tips for us? I am worried how he will cope physically, mentally and socially. He will be 2 hours away from us so I can’t get to him instantly. Any idea where I can find any basic guides to cooking, cleaning, first aid etc I could work through with him? Thanks in advance

  • If he has an autism diagnosis he can get help by applying for Disabled Student’s Allowance. Through this he could get non-medical help such as ASD tutor support, exam support, etc. (if at all needed), which can be super helpful.

    But have a look at Bristol Uni’s website - they should have info on what to do, how to apply etc. Plus they probably have a lot of in-house support as well, groups to join and stuff and they will be able to give you more details.
