Durham Autism Support

Hi ya Esme That's fantastic I definitely feel it will be nicer to get used to everything .. routine is everything for my daughter.

Has anyone heard anything from the ASD/disabilities with more info about going up the Thursday as we havent yet

I've heard from my college to organise arriving early there, but I've had nothing from disability services with more information about what they're doing

thank you... I will check with my daughter and see if she's had anything if not will email her college

My son has just received the info from the Uni this morning 😃

Oh, and fyi if you're autistic you're eligible to stay in college accommodation for all 3 years. Going into second year and this is what I'm likely to do.

They seem to have changed policy in the returners accommodation for autistic students. It did used to say that you could stay, but ant mention of this disappeared at some point during then last year and a half.

I am hoping we would still some priority among people applying to return but it was quite oversubscribed last year.

I haven’t got an offer, but am already very concerned about 2nd year accommodation. It is so much more socially complex to share a house with people than live in halls and finding good compatible housemates within a few weeks of starting seems an almost impossible task.
