If you are looking for information on specific schools and their programs or services for students with ASD’s, you’re in the right place. Please read this first before diving into school profiles.
It would be impossible (well, nearly!) to list every one of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the US. Those listed below are a version of “most popular,” “well-known,” etc. that (in my opinion only) would probably be of the most interest to a wide audience. I am happy to add new schools, especially those that have a program targeted at students with ASD’s. You can send me a note here.
