DC is diagnosed with ASD and sensory impairment and just aced her GCSE's. She is completely institutionalised at her school.
She does not do anything else at all except go to school and go home. She can do all self care tasks like cooking, laundry at home. She talks about getting a part-time job but we simply can't find anything she could do with her limitation.
Her ASD teacher has said that she will probably be able to cope with university but might take her longer than peers (e.g. 3 - 5 years longer). I think this is fair, but what will she do during that time?
Is there a college for kids like her?
