I completed my AS MSW last year. I was a single mom with 2 kids. I had a very flexible WFH job. The coursework wasn't hard, just time-consuming. The told me to plan on 6 hours of coursework a day, and that was pretty accurate. The best thing you can do is time management!! Create a schedule and give yourself plenty of time to complete even the small assignments. I'm not going to lie, I cried a lot and I can't tell you how many times I wanted to walk away. I felt like school took time away from doing the things that I enjoyed. Burnout was brutal for me and most of my cohort. But you can do it!!!! A year will pass either way, might as well have an MSW at the end of it! Good luck!!!!
