A levels and concentration

catwoman

My daughter is doing A levels, and is finding it very hard to concentrate.  She has a diagnosis of Aspergers.  Is it likely to be the Aspergers causing this, and if so, does anyone know good ways of dealing with it?

  • Thank you for these interesting responses. 

    I had heard of executive dysfunction with regard to poor organisation, but  not concentration.  I wonder if there is an optimum way to work, such as in short bursts rather than trying to keep concentration going for long periods, or whether the opposite is true and long sessions would allow concentration to build up.

    She is very anxious, and is on medication for this.  I also wondered whether there could be side effects to her medication that would cause these problems.

    And I hear your sympathy with  anyone doing A levels these days!
