coping at university

rubyruby

My 18 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed with AS and is about to take A levels and has applied to go to uni. Although the diagnosis was from a psychiatrist he referred her on to a psychologist for assessment, but she wont get an appt for this for a year as they are so busy, which will be too late. I worry about her being able to cope with day to day living as she is not good at planning or thinking about what time it is etc. Can anyone give me any advice please?

    My son went to university in September.  We were not expecting him to  pass any A levels and therefore had not applied for anything including accommodation, finance, disabled student allowance etc.  After a mad panic on my part I got him a place in halls.  He has amazed us all by coping really well both with his studies and with the social side of things.  I am not sure that he washes his clothes very often or eats particularly well but he is no different to most other students in that respect.  He does ring home daily and I can tell if he has had a good day or not.  Next year he is going in to a rented house with a friend which will reduce some of the stresses he has with sharing with others although he has managed very well.
