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?

  • Have you considered flexi schooling for her?  We have been doing this for a number of years.  My son finds it easier and less stressful to work some of the time from home with email contact with tutors and then only going in when he feels he needs to.  The tutors are very supportive as they know that he is getting the work done.  He also has a statement and receives extra time in exams and can take breaks if he starts to feel overwhelmed.  He is also allowed to take exams in a quiet area away from distractions.
