Welcome! This site compiles information on college and university programs and services for students who are “on the spectrum” – high-functioning autism and Asperger’s, but also similar issues such as non-verbal learning disability (NVLD), PDD-NOS and, well, just a bit quirky (maybe a lot quirky!).
