However, for autistic students, managing a heavy academic load can quickly become overwhelming. It’s essential that they learn to to balance the demands of school with their mental and emotional needs.

• Consider Regular Classes Instead of Honors: Honors or advanced placement courses might seem like the path to academic success, but they often come with increased expectations and workload. For autistic students, the stress from these classes may outweigh the benefits. Standard courses may offer a more manageable pace, allowing them to focus on learning without the added…
