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?
I'm not sure you can study full time with the OU, obviously you can do enough modules to make it full time, but I know my ex got none of the benefits, like council tax discounts etc when he took a year off to finish his course, apparently the OU dosen't count as being a full time student.
