College with Asperger's (U.S. College Aspies Needed)

Post Reply New Topic

Are you an Aspie between the ages of 18 and 22? Have you enrolled in at least 12 hours of college courses? If you answered “Yes” to both of these questions, I need to learn from you. I am researching transition planning, and I am looking for suggestions to improve it for people with Asperger’s. I would like to interview you through the private message feature of WrongPlanet.
You can expect to discuss your opinions on your readiness for college, any troubles you faced asking for help, your experiences with teachers, staff, and students, and any support you received from your family and friends. I would also like your suggestions for making transition planning better for people with Asperger’s.
You can choose to remain anonymous, to be known by your WrongPlanet ID, or to be known by your first name and last initial when this study is published. Your participation will remain as secret as the Internet allows. I believe you will be able to answer all the questions in a short amount of time (under two hours).

I think i could help you.

I just got diagnosed with asperger two monts a go, and im having reall troubles right now, because of my adhd i being struggle in college since i got in, but im kinda smart, so i dont have to study too much to get good grades, but my adhd and my social anxiety are turning into a insolite lvl right now, maybe because of my diagnosis, that im starting to lose mid-terms, i been talking with my mom, and we are going to make an appoinment for this wednesday to see if i can get a prescription of ritalin.

Please let me note if i can help you with your investigation.

Thank you so much for offering to help with the study. I have sent information to you via the private message feature here. My son also has ADHD to go with his Asperger's, so I have a pretty good idea what a double whammy that can be. I hope you find the medicine helpful. (I know some people prefer to go without the meds and some struggle with side effects. There are so many medications out there now, so try a few if you don't find a good fit with the first one. This is just Mom advice, not Ph.D. candidate advice.)

I am unsure if I would be helpful. I am 18 and have started my first semester at a community college taking 12 credits. So my answer is "Yes" to both of your questions but I still live at home. If you feel I could still be helpful feel free to PM me.

Yes, I would love to learn from your experience. I have sent the information to you via the private message function. Thank you very, very much!

I'm 25, but I am a college graduate and would be very interested in sharing my opinions. Freshman fall was horrible. I had no problems whatsoever handling college coursework or making sure I woke up and went to my classes. All of my problems stemmed from the drastic change in routine going from an extremely scheduled and busy high school day to the unstructured set-up of college with its many breaks between classes.

OddDuckNash99,
I have sent you a private message with the info you will need. Thank you so very much!

Shameless, I would really love to hear your stories about college. The invitation is open to you, even if you just want to vent.

I am interested, but I can't find the study. This is Garrett W. by the way.

I just started first semester a few months ago in an international college in Thailand. Major in IT Engineering. However, I'm still 17 (18 next Feb). Feel free to send me a PM.
