Neurodiversity and College: A Parent's Guide for Autistic Students

Help to Make the College Experience a Great One for Your Autistic Student!

Even students with excellent academic preparation face difficulties in higher education, primarily related to communication, social skills, and sensory-based issues.

• Changes and challenges for parents in college applications

• New and expanding college programs for autistic students

• The role of parents in the transition from being the advocate to supporting their student in self-advocating
