My question is, do you know of a way that I can learn the subjects I've wanted to with the distraction of other students, even to the point of examination hall?
Longer description:
Following a breakdown at secondary school and I was diagnosed with ASD and OCD, I was taught at home by two home and hospital tutors, I passed exams, achieved a distinction in photography and a merit in web design. Unfortunately, when my statement of educational needs ended when I turned 19 years old, I was left with nothing. It's more complicated than that, but to get to the point I'm trying to make this as short as possible, >.<;.
I really want to continue to learn, but I cannot enter into a college because there are pains that have carried with me since my breakdown, and I really do not want to experience that pain again. I am also aware how a classroom, or in general a group of people in a room having to focus on listening to a teacher figure was something I could never manage. I was never able to focus and concentrate with so many people around me. When I was taught at home, it was so much easier, I could focus on my work, everything was constructed well, and I could ask the tutor directly. Also, when I completed the exams, it's a bit complicated to explain, but my Speech and Language Therapist trained as an invigilator to oversee me taking my exams in the living room with her back turned to me, and my mother was allowed to sit in the room as well. This again helped me greatly and I could focus on the exam, as stressful as it was.
I've looked online and practically all of the courses I've seen require you to go to an examination hall, I am certain I will be unable to focus when there are so many people around me. Is there an alternative that you know of, such as a course you can take online that doesn't require you to sit in a crowded room to work on an examination paper?
