You're graduating from high school - what now? The idea of going to college can be a bit intimidating, considering all the decisions you have to make, the cost, and the change involved. This section is here to simplify that, providing arguments and against potential decisions, information on autism-specific programs, and advice on preparing for college. Just click on the name of the article you're interested in (in blue) to read more.
The Section Explained
Before you even go to college, there are a lot of steps you need to take to prepare and a lot of critical questions that need answering. You may be asking yourself lots of questions like...
Should you go to a community college or a university?
And Should you even go to college?
In this section, you'll find the answers to those questions. If you do decide that you're interested in going to college, but feel you need more preparation before you go, you may wish to consider a summer program to give you a preview of college before you go for real. If you feel you need more support, there are also specialized college programs tailored to helping students with autism.
In addition, information about scholarships and how to navigate the college system (which can be a pain when you're going through the application process) can come in handy as well, which is why it's been included in this section.
Finally, the pages about choosing a major and quick college tips are just general pages that can be helpful for anyone (even NTs).
In addition, I found a great page recently all about autism and transitioning from high school to college - you can read it here.
While I can't provide all the answers, this website is here to provide the criteria that you can use to make the decision that's right for you, and hopefully ease the transition along the way.
