A blog about my experiences at university having recently been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. It will include perspectives on social interactions and friendships, academics and organization, disability accommodations and community support, and much more. I'm writing this for the benefit for younger autistics who are not yet at university or are there and having trouble, as well as older autistics with children on the spectrum who might want to know what higher education could be like for neurodiverse kids. It should be noted that I live in the United States, and am not familiar with what college/university is like in other countries, but certain experiences are certainly translatable across cultures. Hope you enjoy!
