[quote=Anonymous]Experienced mom with ASD kid in college - we were surprised (compared to how well DC did in the home with high school) how poorly DC transitioned to college. DC had great difficult once the home supports were removed. I would strong recommend that you work now during the summer with the Office of Disability Services to set up a relationship and any accomodations, if needed. They will help with housing, seating in class if needed, extra time on tests, communications with teachers, if needed. But all of that work needs to be done now. Also, if your testing is more than three years old they may require new testing. Anyhow, we made more use of ODS than we thought we would. We were rather shocked how poorly DC did once the rigor of high school was gone. Many friends of ours had similar experiences - they would send their kid off to college and discover they didn't get out of bed, didn't go to class, let hygiene go. I hope your experience is different![/quote]
