not looking forward to school

Post Reply New Topic

So the plan is that in September I start with school again.
I always said that i want to go back to school and learn to be a car mechanic.
but now i'm registered for the course i don't want to go anymore.
This is ,i think, because of a few things. The first is just the fact that there are other people there and i'm scared of people.
The second thing is the intake procedure. when i first got info from the school they said would first talk with my and ask what i wanted and what they could do for me. I wanted to do a level 2 course so I learned from just doing but because my previous school was of a to high level i can't do it and they just told me what to do.
The last thing that i'm not looking forward to are the other pupils. i'm 20 and they are 15/16 year and just go to school because they have to.

Do not give up. Go back to school. It is difficult to first make yourself go to places that are not traditionally comfortable for those of us with Asperger and Autism. After you get to class and become familiar with the routine, you will be more comfortable with school. You will learn a lot and be very happy you returned to school.

Gotta do stuff you don't wanna do. Welcome to life.

It'll be fun though, you'll be working with cars.

Don't believe people telling you, "it will get better." Know what you're going into: crap. As long as you know it sucks and it always will suck, you won't end up being disappointed. Suffering continual disappointment is worse than accepting that you have to do something that you know sucks and just doing it.

With respect, it will get better. My experience is after you push yourself into the new situation, it will not be so difficult to return each day. It is an environment issue that many of us experience.
