The college he goes to offers online classes. I was hoping he could do his major courses in person while doing the other ones online

What a great question — can a student with autism take a hybrid mix of online and in-person college courses to complete an AA degree?

The short answer is: yes, this is often possible! Many colleges allow students to mix online and in-person courses, and this kind of flexible arrangement can actually work really well for autistic students.

Here are some things to consider:

- Check with an academic advisor at the college to confirm which courses are available online and which require in-person attendance
- Disability services offices at colleges can help arrange accommodations that support a hybrid schedule
- Online courses can reduce sensory overload and social stress, making them a great fit for general education requirements
- In-person attendance for major courses can help build important hands-on skills and relationships with instructors

One thing to keep in mind is that online courses still require strong self-management skills, like keeping track of deadlines and staying motivated without a set schedule. It may help to use tools like calendar apps or reminder systems to stay organized.

It's worth having an open conversation with your son about what environment helps him learn best, and then working with the college to build a schedule that plays to his strengths. 💪
