Teen’s handwriting & GCSEs

My DS handwriting is barely legible. He’s in year 10. The teachers have asked him to improve it but it’s always been bad. Despite the handwriting - he is doing averagely in all subjects.

He was late to start writing, is on the autistic spectrum, with some mild sensory issues.

Question is: how do we manage exams? I’m worried his handwriting will pull his GCSE marks down.

Any advice for managing exams?? Can we ask for extra time or a computer for exams??

DS has a Microsoft surface Go with Microsoft pen and a Kensington case (very sturdy, the army use them). We bought it ourselves however!
