@NeurodivergentBC@actuallyautistic@allautistics@neurodivergent@academicchatter@edutooters A bit like wiping hell with holy water. I can hardly imagine anything more absurd than frontal teaching for autistic people. If I want to know something, I learn it. I don't need lectures on a blackboard and noisy crowds between lectures, thank you. But I would find the option of being officially tested quite charming.
What would work well for you? We don't really have much in the way of text books at a high level in my subject. Short videos? Lists of what think are the most important primary literature? What about more skills based topics? Or are you saying you don't think the concept of formal education is something that could ever appeal to you?
Much better than my in-person uni experience back in the day (long before I knew about #Autism ). Never graduated: happy to discuss what went wrong (doubt anyone interested).
At the time college was the "normal" next step, and intellectually college would have been good for me, but I just couldn't stand being around all those noisy people. Went to vocational school, but it wasn't better, and I didn't finish that.
