Everyone deserves a fulfilling college experience, including students on the autism spectrum. Organization for Autism Research's (OAR) Finding Your Way: A College Guide for Students on the Spectrum is intended to help autistic students become better prepared for college life and academics.

  • The role and importance of self-advocacy in college, along with discussions of disclosing autism

  • Disability Support Services offices, academic supports, and accommodations

  • Strategies to establish and maintain daily routines and structure

Hey — thanks for writing this, it’s rare to see so many concrete tips for students with autism going into college. The sections on disclosure and finding supports were super helpful — those feels like the real tricky parts. Also, I bumped into a life alert resource https://life-alert.pissedconsumer.com/review.html while checking safety services, and it struck me as a possibly useful tool — especially if someone’s living on their own and wants an emergency backup. I kinda wish there were visuals (diagrams, flowcharts) to help digest the “self-advocacy steps” section.
