My niece performs much better in academics when the format is all online. In fact, during the pandemic when her schooling was all online for an entire year, she had amazing grades. Niece has said that she finds an online format a lot easier and it helps her to stay organized. Whereas with my neurotypical kids, they hated online classes with a passion.
Niece is interested in “maybe doing something involving computers.” She’s also super duper into art, but only if it involves drawing pictures of dragons using a particular type of colored pencils. ![]()
My SIL wants Niece to get a traditional part time job next year when she’s 16. Honestly, I’m not sure if Niece will be able to handle something in a food service or customer service type of job. Her “social battery” gets drained pretty quickly and then she kind of shuts down.
I told SIL about the Modern States’ free online courses which you can take as prep for taking CLEP exams for college credit. My D24 has done that for a couple of her classes last year.
