Should there be an exam board for those on the spectrum?

Post Reply New Topic

To elaborate, many individuals on the spectrum have complained about exam papers being confusing due to long winded questions that probably require a 2 sentence answer. I too, find it utterly ridiculous that I have to sift through a load of confusing rubbish in order to give a simple, 2 sentence answer.. A seemingly simple answer I will get wrong because I have misinterpreted the question as a result of the convoluted and long winded nature of the question. I do think that there should be exam papers for aspies, unfortunately my brain interprets things literally in that given moment and I will give the wrong answer, to a question I would otherwise get correct. Exams should be straight forward and straight to the point. Of course they shouldn't be made easier or anything like that. But I do think we should be given an equal chance to success.
