In my country we have a lot of working from home and distance education due to covid-19.
I have heard that many people with ASD don't do well in distance education. It's bad for people with ASD. To me this sounds crazy as people are different. I mean, some people probably despise whereas others like it. Not having to deal with a lot of social situations in a classroom must be a nice thing for people with ASD. Getting rid of a lot distractions must be very nice.
I take music lessons online and the only really problem is the physical aspects. It is easier to learn physical skills with a teacher who is in the same room. I must say that it is nice to be able to have music classes without leaving my home. A friend of mine who also have ASD says that he might actually get more done at home than at other places. I feel the same.
I myself sometimes like and sometime hate the classroom experience. Small groups are ok but big groups with a lot of distractions is terrible.
Why would people with ASD dislike distance education? Are there people with ASD who like the classroom experience? What are your personal experiences?
