[quote=Anonymous]I'm do not have an ASD but I have ADHD and some of the same problems you listed. I managed to graduate from college as a software engineer though the problems you listed were the problems that I had in college and throughout school. Even though I graduated, if I would have had a dx and guidance, I could have finished with a much higher GPA, etc. If I could go back in time, I now realize what I needed: More time! It takes me longer, though my output is worth it. For example, math always came easy to be. I can do calculus, programming, etc. no problem. I can also write great essays in English and History and do fine in almost any exam. But I can't do it all AT THE SAME TIME! I can do one course at a time, maybe two. The system really isn't set up that way. For example, my scholarship required that I take at least 4 courses. I did and I always got A's in two of them and C's in the other two. And it was stressful. Eitherway, it took me 6 years instead of 4. Anyways, thats just my two cents. In HS it was the same. I took AP classes and IB classes. And there was pressure to be "on the top" I just wish they would have alleviated that pressure and had me do great in two college courses at a time. I went to a state school, full scholarship. Because I had a wide variety of interests, I wish someone would have narrowed down a path for me. Anyways, that's my rant. I hope the best for you parents and your kids. Now that I'm a mom too with an aspie kid, I hope I can get him the help he needs. [/quote]
