Uniquely, the authors bring the perspective of neurodiversity to this work. Many individuals on the autism spectrum have been stigmatized by the diagnosis and experience autism as a negative label that brings with it marginalization and barriers through an emphasis on deficits. Autistic self-advocates within the neurodiversity movement are leading the charge to rethinking autism as neurodiversity, and to celebrating autism as central to identity. Neurodiversity is not a theory or a way of being, it is a fact, and neurological diversity should be valued and respected along with any other human variation such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. The book provides the practical guidance needed to help neurodivergent students succeed, with chapters that address a variety of key issues from the transition to college to career readiness after graduation. The authors address support services, faculty and staff roles, and enhancing academic success. They also cover navigating the social demands of college life, working with families, and mental health. The final chapter brings it all together, describing the elements of a comprehensive program to help this student population succeed. Difficulties with social interaction and communication are one of the defining characteristics of autism and often persist into adulthood. It can be assumed that difficulties with social interaction and communication may also impact college success, both socially and academically. But the answer for these students is not necessarily to try to "fix" these issues, since the fact that these students have been admitted to a degree-granting program shows that they can be successful students. Instead, there should be an emphasis on helping faculty, staff, and students understand the diversity of human behavior while helping autistic students achieve college success through a support system and by providing accommodations and services when needed."-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Autistic people $x Education (Higher) $z United States $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a Teenagers with mental disabilities $x Education (Higher) $z United States $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a College students with disabilities $x Services for $z United States $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a College student orientation $z United States $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a Autism spectrum disorders $z United States. 700 1 $a Accardo, Amy, $e author. 700 1 $a Woodruff, John, $d 1960- $e author. 700 1 $a Zaks, Zosia, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kuder, S.
