Hsed kids certainly can and do go directly to 4-year universities after graduating from hs.

You might be interested in an email loop on yahoogroups called hs2coll.

My two older girls went directly to 4-year universities with full tuition scholarships after graduating from hs. They did go to cc also for dual credit and I highly recommend that hs kids take advantage of dual credit as much as they are able. In my cc district, all 11th and 12th graders can take up to a total of 12 classes (lecture/lab are counted as a single class) at no charge, whether the students are in public school, private school, or homeschool.

Because of this, my oldest went to college with 45 credits and my middle went to college with 35 credits. My youngest won’t have as many credits when she goes to university because she has many of the same issues as your ds. She is both dyslexic and dysgraphic. Taking cc classes as dual credit has been very helpful for her to find which accommodations are helpful and which are not. It has also helped her to get comfortable with working with the student accessibility office on campus.
