Sending a son or daughter off to college is daunting and fear-provoking experience for most parents, but if your child has an autism spectrum disorder, the challenge is magnified many times over. Even high-functioning students with excellent academic preparation face difficulties in higher education, primarily related to communication, social skills, and sensory-based issues. For many, the accommodations and special interventions that supported them in high school will no longer be available on a college campus. This parent-friendly book, made especially so because it is written by parents, who also are autism professionals, takes the fear and mystery out of the college experience. Learn 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, what assistance can be reasonably be expected from residence hall managers, faculty, and much, much more.

• This book talks about what to do to help your child once they are admitted to college but it does not cover HOW to get them into college. It also does not talk about the various types of support programs available at colleges and how to determine which one is best for your child. Last, I was hoping they might recommend some schools with well-developed programs. This book does not have any recommendations. There are a lot of good programs, some within the universities and some outside the universities that support students. Unfortunately, this is information I had to find on my own. This book was not helpful to me.
• The doc who conducted my son's neuro-psych evaluation recommended this book. It's well-written with good practical advise and action items. Short case-studies help illustrate areas I can relate to and those that don't apply as much. My son was tested/evaluated and diagnosed with ASD at age 16 and also struggles with a chronic illness. The book addresses a wide range of college evaluation issues that are likely relevant to parents of a child/ teen who is on any type of 504 or IEP plan at school. I recommended it to my sister whose son attends middle school for "2e" kids (twice exceptional- "bright" and have another challenge such as ASD, ADHD, etc.). I recommend reading it as early as possible (post-elementary school) since the author offers great advice for when and how to transition from having to be a "hands-on" advocate to having to be a "hands-off" parent of a college student (and options in-between).
• Our school district has been providing parents of students with autism who will be attending college with a copy of this book. It is an excellent resource and gives very practical advice. Parents have provided positive feedback as well.
• Very helpful book about college for students on the Autism Spectrum and what to expect.
• You really need to get this even before your (autistic) child goes to high school.
• Great book...great price...fast ship
• A "must read" for parents of students with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder who are considering college. Very very helpful. Thanks to the authors!
• Step by step layout of things to consider. Easy read. Those topics that do not relate to us I skip. I like the way the book is laid out and it's a very easy read and listing of other resources.
