How is the attitude toward neurodivergence in higher education? (thelemmy.club)

Thinking about goin back 2 skool, but I’m autistic and have a lot of executive functioning problems and was wondering if anyone here knows if much has changed in the last decade…

Came across this thread which wasn’t too inspiring. Is this actually a representative sample though? I have enough neurotypicals in my life complaining that they don’t get to leave me to die in a ditch already.

Because it I’m just gonna get lectured on how my autism is just me being lazy then I’d rather just keep driving the bus for the rest of my life.

I have been able to teach myself most of the subject matter by reading the textbook and doing the homeworks.

Isn't that just how it's supposed to work? Lectures are for reinforcement and clarification, they're not there to teach you the course by themselves.

Of course, but most people attend lecture every day and sometimes attendance affects your grade. I assure you my levels of attendance aren't normal

Attendance affecting grade does suck. I got my degree on 30% average attendance.
