Key issues for many students with Asperger's are those of organization &
change of routine.
My general advice to universities is as follows:
Prior to exams taking place you need to check whether they have filled in
and submitted exam forms on time [if this is a requirement], and that they
have taken note of the exam timetable. If they have a student mentor then
make a point of knowing how to contact this mentor.
I advise that they take the exam seperate from others and that the same room
is booked throughout, ideally with the same invigilator.
