Transition to University

Marty

Hi, my son has AS, dyslexia & dyspraxia but has survived school & college and has secured a place at Southampton Solent University this September - his first time living away from home.

So far the University has been really supportive and I hope everything will work out ok.  However I'd be really interested to hear from either parents of other young people with Aspergers, or the students themselves, on the dos and don'ts of transition to University.

We'd also be really interested if your son/daughter, or you if you're the student, are either currently at, or are off to, Southampton Solent this year.

Thanks.

  • Hi Marty,

    Sorry i dont have any information to help you but was hoping maybe you might be able to give me some advice?

    My son was diagnosed with aspergers and dyslexia a few months ago, he is 13yrs old and has struggled quite a bit in school educationally although he is certainly intelligent. It sounds like your son has done well going to university. If you have any information that could help or guide me i'd be grateful as i have been researching online but have only been able to find information on ways to work on these seperately, nothing on how one effects the other or how to help make learning easier for him without holding him back.

    Thanks De-De
