Hi
My DD is ASD and has sensory processing disorder. We are very supportive of her going to university to study illustration but she’s struggling with burn out even doing 12 hours a week doing her BTEC in Hames Art. Has anyone had issues and managed higher education? I’ve suggested OU but she wants socialisation too as she’s awful at making friends sadly. I’ve suggested having socialisation at other things and studying at home to make sure she can attend, at college she’s probably 65% attendance even thought it’s only 12 hours a week over 3 afternoons. Any advice would be grateful - thank
