My DS2 is 14 and just started year 10. He has asperger's with some motor control issues. For example he didn't walk until he was almost 19 months, didn't ride a bike until he was 9 and has terrible trouble with his handwriting - five year old DS3's writing is often easier to read.
His tutor plans to speak with the learning support department to apply for permission for him to use a laptop for written exams etc. What are the chances of this being granted? He is very bright - got an 8A in maths at the end of year 9 for example but he struggles to convey what he knows as examiners won't be able to mark something they can't read. I think use of a laptop will greatly improve his chances of getting the good grades he is capable of.
