[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739877, member: 23349"] Drew I’m glad to hear she made it to class at least. I agree this is the time to take a step back and let her be responsible for her choices and time management. She may fail this time. But if you’re staying out of her choices and not taking on the responsibility, she can’t blame you. I didn’t make it through college the first time. Not because I couldn’t do the work, but because the environment was too overwhelming and I shut down. I was better prepared and more self aware when I went and finished up the second time around. Though I was doing it the hard way, with kids. Whether it’s Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or something else, she’ll have to get to the point where she’s can accept that she is t just like everyone else and learns how to ask for the help she needs and find workarounds and accommodations for her difficulties. It doesn’t sound like she’s there yet. But if she doesn’t make it through this semester, try to see it as a learning experience rather than a failure. She is still so young. She may just have a slightly longer path to follow than some. [/QUOTE]
