Navigating college: a handbook on self advocacy written for autistic students from autistic adults - jim sinclair

Leaving high school and going to college is complicated for everyone.

But if youre a student on the autism spectrum who is about to enter higher education for the first time, it might be a little bit more complicated for you.

Maybe youre worried about getting accommodations, getting places on time, or dealing with sensory issues in a new environment.

Maybe you could use some advice on how to stay healthy at school, handle dating and relationships, or talk to your friends and classmates about your disability.

Maybe you want to talk to someone whos already dealt with these issues.

Thats where we come in.

Navigating College is an introduction to the college experience from those of us whove been there.

The writers and contributors are Autistic adults, and were giving you the advice that we wish someone could have given us when we headed off to college.

We wish we could sit down and have a chat with each of you, to share our experiences and answer your questions.

But since we cant teleport, and some of us have trouble meeting new people, this book is the next best thing.

So as you go back to school, check out a copy of Navigating College for yourself or your loved one.

Weve done this all before--let us help you out.
