Hi!
I am applying for university to start in September 2025. I want to study chemistry. I am mainly looking at Bath because it's pretty close to home and apparently they are good for neurodiversity/autism???
I wondered if anyone had any advice about transitioning to uni for someone who is autistic?
I have recently (this summer!) been diagnosed with autism, which has explained a LOT!
Thank you for reading/replying if you do (:

Lilia, Do you have the necessary non academic skills to cope with university?Those would be independent living skills
I enjoy cooking (:
Ummm I am not sure what other independent living skills I need.
I struggled lots with the change from secondary school to 6th form and that wasn't even really a big change - It was still at the same school. I had just gone through a VERY stressful time doing my GCSEs and I had no support back then. I tend to starve myself when I am anxious which isn't very good. I am hoping as I will most likely be having some support this time round it will make the transition to uni and the sitting of my A levels easier. The future does seem very scary to think about at the moment though!
