Hi,- having just registered here, this post attracts me with both my hats: I am an experienced social worker (non practising) and HE tutor and - I believe I have significant neurodiverse (AS) traits. I have only recently learned the latter and at age 62 I won't seek a diagnosis. In fact, I am glad I don't have one, labelling me, - but have simply had to deal with and take the challenges I have met...But now to your question: Firstly, did you have a diagnosis when you started University? Did you ask for support from a tutor and/or disclose any difficulties to them? Just asking to get the picture - because regardless of the answer, the Uni has a duty of care and you should have received support.Not sure whether refund is the best way forward - how would you feel if there was a way to pass the exams with support? It seems to me that may be much more likely achievable. You say you like your subject - so there. I'd love to help if I can. Please write again or contact me personally. Best wishes!
