This parent-friendly book, written by parents who also are autism professionals, takes the fear and mystery out of the college experience by addressing some of the difficulties students with autism may face in higher education related to communication, socials skills, and sensory-based issues. Topics covered include how to select the right campus, how to work with Disability Services staff, what legal protections apply, how to prepare your son or daughter to be an effective self-advocate on campus, and what assistance can reasonably be expected from residence hall managers and faculty.
