DSA for ASD

You need to have an assessment that will assess your needs to find out specifically what you need, so you may not get all of those things - it is down to what happens in the assessment.

Thanks. I find it very difficult to speak to people so also worried about the assessment :-(. Can you advise on the assessment process?

I haven't gone through it yet (I need to book it yet) - there are multiple ways you can be assessed - virtually and in person so you can do either depending on what you think will work better. I would also ask if you could bring your mum in - they may not let you but you definitely won't get it if you do not ask.

Thank you so much

Hi,
I did mine a couple of years ago and it was online
Yes you can bring others to help advocate for you and yourself
There is software such a recording lectures, making mindmaps, time management sort of thing. You can also get a printer and paper and ink allowance. For the mentor I understand how anxiety producing meeting a new person is (I'm also autistic) and when I got mine I was really nervous and didn't want to meet them but they are lovely and have helped me so much with uni and if I didn't have them to talk through advice etc then I would have such a much harder time, even if there isn't anything at that moment it helped as I know I have someone to talk to and ask advice when needed.
Also if you really don't want to meet them I would still accept the support as you then email a company to set it up so you can wait as long as you like to set up the meetings so I would accept it when they provide it
Let me know if you have any more questions
