Sixth Form etiquette

I'm an autistic girl who's about to start sixth form. As part of my autism I have a hard time picking up on social rules, so I'd like to know if there are any specific rules, or things that Are Not Done, specific to sixth form. The one I am going to is part of a secondary school rather than a college, and I do not currently know anyone there. Thanks!
PS, please do not post sarcastic or false information, as I won't realise you are joking which could end badly :/

I can't really think of anything specific. Also being on the spectrum, I can't really say I had any particular issues adapting to the sixth form over the lower school (although I did have the advantage of staying in the same school, you're very brave for starting a new one where you don't know anyone!). I'm sure there are rules you need to learn if you want to be social and stuff, but I'm very happy having nothing to do with anyone else socially speaking. I'm assuming you've been in contact with the sixth form's learning support department (or equivalent) but if you haven't, I definitely would.

OP

Thanks for your help, I have been in touch with the learning support people and they seem pretty helpful. My old school didn't have a sixth form, hence the move, but I'm perfectly happy with not socialising so I guess that won't be too much of an issue :smile:
