My 17 year old has Aspergers, and its been A Level year
Not the easiest time for the family, with a few things going on and he always had a lot of challenges at school particularly in non-technical subjects...english, history etc where writing essays was a real problem
Anyway, he took all his A Levels mostly via coursework with dispensation because sitting in exams was so difficult
As we all know A Level results came out in early August. He was away at the time and so didn't go and get them
We expected them to be sent through the post and waited
and waited
eventually i rang up and asked for them to be sent through, only for the school to tell me they didn't send them out, they needed to be picked up in person and not by a parent/friend unless it came with written permission from the student
ok. not as easy as it sounds for us. getting written permission wouldn't be easy
a couple of weeks passed
"have you gone to get your results yet?"
"no"
repeat every few days until i'm told down the phone
"dad, i don't want to go and get them, what if i have failed?"
i told him, quite genuinely, that i didn't care if he failed. whatever happens life goes on and doesn't have to affect what he wants to do with his life. Not important in the big picture but you need to get the results to see what your options are
Yesterday, about a month after the results come out, the phone call comes
"Dad I went to get my results"
Pause
"Chemistry B Physics B IT A"
I pulled myself together long enough to tell him i was proud of him.
He's working on an IT apprenticeship for a scientific labs company on the Millbrook test track complex for now and can come off probation now he's got the results.
That's fantastic Rich.

Daughter (10) just got her dance results (tap and Jazz) today and got a merit and commendation. She does not have a natural build for a dancer (has my lack of flexibility) so had to work hard for these.
As a treat for passing she is making a Chocolate cake Happy days indeed. Will make up for Son's football team (minus son as he was at cub camp) losing their first game of the season and me getting soaked into the bargain.

My youngest son achieved 4 A*, 4 A and 1 B in his GCSE exams. You know those kids that can just sail through exams with the minimum of prep and just wing it on natural ability - well he isn't one of those. He worked damn hard to get those results and it was 100% self-driven. He has a work ethic that puts many, including me, to shame.

Well done him.

And for those that didn't do so well

If your A level results are disappointing, don't worry. I got a C and two Us, and I'm currently on a superyacht in the Med.
