OP here. I ignore the unhelpful. I can never understand why people feel they need to be cruel.

I've heard great things about George Mason. They have a program for students on the spectrum. My hope is that my son will someday go there.

If you're looking for that level of support, I'd also look at College Living Experience.

Anyone heard of Marshall university in WVA?

I've been really happy with the support at McDaniel.
If you're willing to go a little further, the AIM program at Mercyhurst has a very good reputation.
Not personal experience, but I have heard very good things about McDaniel and Washington College.
