Many people with autism may find change hard and going to college may be a very big change that requires careful planning.
This paper was written to help colleges understand how to meet the needs of people with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The authors note that many people with autism also have learning disabilities. The article lists six important issues for students with autism who go to college: 1) what type and size of college; 2) can/should the student live alone; 3) when and how to tell others that the student has autism; 4) what academic support system does the student need; 5) what social support system does the student need; and 6) what can be done to help the student adjust to college.
