Hi. My son has just started his alevels and they are already talking about personal statements for uni. Tbh I never thought he would be taking a levels as he has a language processing disorder and this has resulted in him being quite introverted. However we sought support and he worked hard to get good GCSEs all as and bs and a c for English not bad for a kid who couldn’t speak properly until he was 7. But he has no extra curricular interests. We have tried to get him involved with football teams and martial arts clubs but he always stops after a year or so. We don’t want him to get a job at the moment because the employers who take on teenagers around here are notorious for exploiting them, making them work unsociable hours which impacts on there study time. A personal statement requires them to include something that makes them stand out as a candidate and he just doesn’t have anything. Any advice please?
