For individuals with ASD, effective study strategies include:

1. Structured routine: Set a consistent schedule.
2. Visual aids: Use charts, planners, and color-coded notes.
3. Focus on interests: Relate study material to special interests.
4. Minimize distractions: Create a quiet, sensory-friendly study space.
5. Movement breaks: Incorporate regular physical activity.
6. Clear instructions: Provide specific, direct guidance.
7. Assistive tools: Use apps or tech for organization and learning.
8. Positive reinforcement: Reward achievements to build motivation.
9. Support executive functioning: Break tasks into manageable steps.

Tailor these strategies to individual needs for the best results.

Ask the teacher/professor "What is most important for me to focus on?"

My kid has come home with some frankly idiotic suggestions for how to study effectively, given to him by his teacher and teacher's aides. You can't focus on everything, and rereading something 20 times is not a good use of your time.

There should be a focus on this main thing first, and then this other thing next when you have time with any class.

Also: I, personally, memorize all important things on cards. I have always gotten an A in any subject doing this, and I am not that smart. For some reason, most people don't follow my advice, but this is straight up the easiest and quickest way to learn things. Especially boring things.
