Anyone had teething problems with uni? My Ds with social communication difficulties ( similar to ASD) is finding his very high powered engineering degree really tough.
He can't sit through all the lectures so watches some online and some via notes. Doing well in some subjects/modules but others such as coding which he finds so boring is just about passing - could fail exam. He finds the self learning so difficult to adapt to.
He is meeting personal tutor. He has a mentor. About to get peer support but not in Engineering what he really needs.
What really worried him is not making friends on a very large course - 130 students. He has football team colleagues. He has good flatmates who he will share a house with next year but he feels a failure because he can't seem to break into a group on course.
I'm constantly thinking of things to try and help him. Feel so worried that he might fail and wondering about the options.
