Students & Life Transitions

School comes with rails. Bells, deadlines set by someone else, a timetable you did not have to build, and adults noticing when something slips. University removes most of that in a single summer, which is why so many capable students hit trouble in first year and cannot explain what changed. Nothing changed about them. The external structure that had been doing quiet executive function work simply stopped. This section covers those transitions: leaving school, starting or returning to study, moving out, starting a first job, and any other point where the scaffolding you were relying on gets removed at once. It also covers the transitions nobody schedules, like a late diagnosis that reframes twenty years of evidence. The practical work is the same in each case. Work out what the old structure was doing for you, then build something deliberate to replace it, before the term or the job goes sideways.
