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 Longman

    I think you should go ahead and start a new thread on the alternatives to university. You certainly seem to have loads of experience in this area and your experience could be very helpful to lots of people.  Don't worry about "sounding off and scaring people away".  Maybe giving the bare facts initially might be a good start.

    All the best
