| Description: | This book examines the social and emotional challenges faced by autistic students as they pursue their goals at colleges and universities. It explores the nature of autism, with its unique set of challenges and benefits. It views autism from the inside, through the lens of neurodiversity, a point of view from which autism and other conditions are seen as variations of a complex human nervous system, rather than disorders to be cured. Topics covered in this book include cognition and social interaction, identity development, gender, intersectionality, controversies, the challenges of living in a community, and the emergence of neurodiversity culture. The book focuses on the experience of autistic individuals during late adolescence and early adulthood. It also offers practical advice and information for those who work with autistic students. |
