I'm currently really struggling with work because of all the responsibilities and overstimulation and debating going back to education so I can have some more control over my schedule and also open up some more career opportunities. I thought OU could be good because it's online so there's less social stress. Specifically interested in doing a Psychology degree with Open University (full-time) because this has been my special interest for years now.
Has anyone done a degree with OU? Would you recommend full-time? Did you find that they were supportive and understanding of autistic people?
Ensure you don't lose the credits you have, as I did, because I left it too long to start again.
I gave up when my dad passed away and had a long break without an awareness that there is a time limit on how long the courses you have studied will still be able to be counted.
16 years is the maximum that study counts towards a degree:

16 years is a long time though.... if it takes over 16 years then 16 years it wont be useful fast enough for you anyway.
