[quote=Anonymous] If you've sent a kid with ASD to college, what aspects of the school or program or living situation were important to making it work (or alternately, what didn't work)? We're starting to think about a list of colleges to visit for our HS junior, who has autism. I'm very interested in finding a "good fit" but having trouble identifying what that might be. DS has good grades, excellent test scores, and is particularly strong in history and English. He is very introverted and doesn't have much success connecting with peers. He has recurring episodes of depression connected to his ASD and social challenges. I had been thinking a small liberal arts college close to home might be a good choice, but the people I know who thrived at SLACs tended to be very social and get a lot of pleasure from friendships/community. Would that environment be very isolating for someone atypical?[/quote]
