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?

  • Short bursts would be better than longer stints.  The brain apparently recalls better learning that way too.

    Unless the medication is strong, I wouldn't have thought it would be due to that.  Medication can cause drowsiness though so you could check with the GP (and also check the contraindications leaflet in the box and do some Googling).

    Anxiety can make you unfocused and if her medication is only low dose it could be that the anxiety is causing the effect.
