baddad Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Hi andrea - welcome to the forum. droped out at 14 I think many people on the spectrum find school (especially secondary) way beyond them at 14. Many go back and finish off later as 'matooor students', and the whole school thing seems to fit much better then... Considering the emotional maturity/chronological age thing going on for many on the spectrum, it seems much more sensible IMO! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
