      @@parus482 my only advice is get him as much support as you can as early on. School support medical and psychological, whatever you can afford. All will help. Sorry I’m not knowledgeable in children. Good luck

    Loved the video! I used to use flashcards in school when there were a lot of definitions, especially in language classes, but that changed when I started university.
    I found that mindmaps are my go-to when there's a lot of lists to memorize for a class. When I make my time table, I try splitting my day into 8-hour segments: 8 hours of sleep (usually I sleep 6-7 hrs but that's ok), 8 hours of work, and 8 hours for me. And work has to be the first thing I do in the morning in order to get it done. This way, I feel accomplished at the end of the day when I fulfill what I set out for that specific day.

    I'm also autistic and I study two degrees (International Relations and Modern Languages) and I liked a lot your tips!! For the flashcards I actually started doing them on Anki, which another person already commented here. It's really useful and as you said it helps breaking down the subjects into little, manageable things to remember. I'll try to implement the other tips as well. Studying anywhere other than home seems nice too, because I need to start associating home with "calmness, relax, sleep" so I won't get crazy by the end of the semester.

    Thanks for the video, this comment is targeted to anyone that has difficulties while studying:
    I usually use this method and has given me the best results I ever had (you may use any of this if you think may be useful to you).
    MY STUDY METHOD:
    1. map
    2. skim
    3. read
    1. map
    - (if the chapter have this) look at the formulas, pictures, illustrations and charts
    - write down the vocabulary words that you don't understand or the ones that the author provides to you by highlighting them and you don't understand either
    - ask 5 to 9 questions (from the sections of the chapter or use the questions from the end of the chapter or from the subsections or use questions that you have)
    - organise the chapter (making an index or a representation of the chapter with mind map or quadrants)
    - (optional) visualize the mind map or quadrants in your mind

    2. skim
    3. read
    SPACE REPETITION
    After this I use the tip that you say (flashcards) to put me to the test, every 4 days or so, but I do it with the software Ankidroid (Is available in PC and Android, and you can synchronize the flashcards to test yourself anywhere)
    PD: I suggest reading the book Getting Things Done, by David Allen (to learn, I think, the best system to organize yourself) and also use the software Microsoft To Do, to implement the Getting Things Done (GTD) system

    Me! I always did my work DIRECTLY after the lesson while it's still fresh or else I would forget it xD. And my teachers would get mad that I was doing homework in class (instead of at home), but otherwise I just wouldn't turn it in haha 😅.

    Hi, I am either neurotypical or undiagnosed, I have no idea, but those tips make sense to me a lot and I hope that they´ll help me through my uni (I´m studying informatics at a very difficult school)

    Set a timer to study for say an hour at a time and then try to take a break. I know us autistics have a hard time switching activities a lot of the time but it will make it easier to learn in the long run.

      Damn it you're autistic and in med school? You'll be an actual doctor??
      My cousin, mother everyone just keeps on reiterating that I can't be a doctor or go through med school if I keep on "behaving autistic".
      I have a official diagnosis with proper paper work.
