Good Colleges for Aspies

In the article, "More Students With Asperger Syndrome Going to College," ABC news presents a brief discussion of colleges that show promise for young adults with Aspergers. Although a bit sensationalist (for examples phrases like, "As scores of autistic young adults enter universities for the first time", and "deal with the first generation of Asperger's students to hit campuses in large numbers"), the article touches on the main problems Aspie college students have: They can be too trusting, too honest, too easily overwhelmed by a large campus, and then too anxious or stressed to properly ask for help.

Those schools, some of which have AS/ASD specific programs and others which assist students through their disabilities office, include:

• Marshall University
  
• University of Connecticut
  
• Marshall University Asperger's Program
  
• University of Connecticut School of Law
  
• Kelly Autism Program at Western Kentucky University
  
• Gersh Program at Daemon College, Buffalo, N.Y. York
  
• Georgia State University
