I always ask for important information in written form and materials in pdf files. *nods*Receiving all your instructions in written, rather than oral form.
Assuming you're American, I'd start here for a formal, official explanation.Do you know what kind of accomodations someone can even ask for as an autistic person at university or in an office job? Do you know any guides about it?
But I don't think I can skip part of the syllabus in favour of learning some subjects more deeply. This is very much what I prefer and what I'm better at
I prefer to read the lectures alone anyway, at my own pace, usually faster than how they take place.
Tbh I'll look into that, I didn't know there were such possibilities. Of course, my university might not offer directed studies at all, but it came to my mind that I could replace a subject or two with another, better suited. I have a couple of classes that you get to pick from a range of subjects.If it's a core course in a program, I agree that skipping a part is probably not an option, as there is a certain broad base of knowledge that everyone is expected to have.
Something you could consider, if there are areas you want to do a "deep dive" into but for which there aren't any specific courses for, is to ask about the possibility of doing a "directed studies" course, where is conjuction with a prof you design your own custom course that you'd be mostly doing on your own.
