Bridging the Gap: Supporting Students With Autism in Higher Education
Abstract
This chapter intends to examine the difficulties that young adult individuals on the autism spectrum face when transitioning to college and how institutions of higher learning can better facilitate the process. In the first part of the chapter, the authors review autism from a neurological angle. Then, they discuss general problems that emerge when counseling those on the spectrum, including academic-related obstacles and systemic challenges. The chapter continues by focusing on the decisions that individuals with ASD and their parents must make when thinking about pursuing a college education. Finally, they explore specific issues that institutions of postsecondary education need to address if they intend to label themselves as “autism-friendly” settings.
