[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder how the DC will cope after college with those disabilities.  I hope somehow it works for them, but I always wonder how they find suitable workplaces…[/quote]

My 11th grader is autistic. School is really hard for him. The executive function demands of having 6 classes, having to socially interact with peers all day, having little control over the content of classes, not understanding things like analyzing literature in English class. But he will be amazing when he can work full time in a job related to his special interests. I know that because he has an internship this year and has none of the difficulties that he has at school.[/quote]

I forgot to add that as we are looking at colleges, we're focusing less on the LD services from the school (they all offer basic accommodations and I will pay for a separate executive function coach anywhere) and more on keeping distribution requirements to a minimum/maximizing course choices.[/quote]
