I don’t know if this has anything to do with autism (I’m not autistic), but I would like for schools to allow students to focus on one subject at a time. Instead of four semesters where they have to simultaneously study language, math, science, and history, have one semester devoted exclusively to each of those.
I matured a lot during my college years. I think I have a poorer understanding of subjects I studied as a freshman that weren’t reinforced later when I was older than I do of subjects that I studied as a junior or senior that weren’t reinforced later.

There are several colleges that do this, calling it the block plan. The ones I know of are Cornell College, Colorado College, and Quest University.
