[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]R1, humanities field, with strong undergrads programs (think Brown, Gtown, Tufts). Fire away. [/quote] My DD is autistic. She’s Level I, very gifted and quite social, but also very rigid and anxious. Until very recently, she wanted to major in STEM. There seem to be more people on the spectrum in STEM and we suspect she’ll have a less difficult time with accommodations and finding her tribe among hard science majors. However, she’s fallen in love with the humanities and social sciences recently. I worry that there’s less acceptance of autistic traits in those fields. Moreover, there’s a lot of figurative language and academic double speak in the humanities that I think she might not grasp. What do you think?[/quote]
