College support...?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm about to be starting college again, after dropping out. I don't have parental support, does anyone have ideas on where I can find outside support? Everyone else seems to have parents supporting them. I'm the odd aspie out, AND the odd one out.

The college should have support. You should also be able to find support through friends unless you're talking about financial support.

The counseling center maybe be a good place to start out. I know many of them at colleges may be useless, but it couldn't hurt. I have had troubles too staying motivated, even with the support of my parents

You have to get support for yourself in college. Nobody will be there for you all the time.

Enroll in the disability student services. If you fill out the documentation, and have a doctor's signature, you'll be in. You can get help with note-taking, getting extra time on exams and assignments, special exam accomodations, etc. Well worth checking out if you are AS, as your college tuition is paying for this anyways.

Do it you will cope so much better, I got a laptop, LSA(to nag me and to help) and extra time.

What's an LSA?

Learning support assiacant.
