[quote=Anonymous]Thanks 13:53.  We've tried having past tutors arrange the studying day but DC went off on his own plan of studying. That was costly in addition to regular tuitition, room and board. We've tried having DW call every morning to get DC up  but that's getting very old and annoys roommate.  Often DC doesn't answer the phone so we have to keep calling.  We've bought every alarm clock ever made - he sleeps right through them.  We do have a call into ODS at DC's university to try and find him an on campus therapist with experience with Spectrum kids who just can't make the transition to college (but we are in year 2 and still fighting this!).  The shrink says transitions are difficult for Aspies but we can't keep going at this rate of support.  Everything else in our lives is being neglected because of phone calls to/from DC.  Problems with ODS.  Problems with professors saying "I don't know why you should get extra time, you look perfectly normal to me".  More calls to ODS.  Nag calls to DC to remind DC to go to ODS.  Sudden panic attacks over the decision whether or not to drop a course.  Sudden panic attacks over papers that were "forgotten" that we have to hire tutors to help DC through.  We've thought of military colleges but DC could never get into VMI with his disabilities and I don't know of a college level institution that would be appropriate.  DS also isn't physically fit (we have to nag him to exercise) enough for a military-style institution.  Most of the college-level transition institutions are frightfully expensive.  We've already exhausted college funds, savings and our retirement for this child/adult.  We really don't know what to do.
