While 70% of autistic students surveyed in 2009 said they’d attended a two-year college at some point or exclusively, just 10 community colleges offer autism programs, according to the College Autism Network. chronicle.com/article/making… @CollegeAutism

Not just how do #autistic #college students struggle, but how do we define when we are succeeding? I'm an advisor on a national study of autistic-defined success. Autistic #undergraduate students in the US can participate for a $25 gift card. Survey link: bit.ly/3P08dAF

COVID stinks, but it also creates some unexpected opportunities... Super cool to be one of 96 people (from across the world) sitting in on @bnachmanreports dissertation defense. And he's nailing it. @CollegeAutism

When corporations do good things we should acknowledge them. Thank you to @AMCTheatres for special autism-friendly sensory showings of movies, so I can enjoy seeing @HamillHimself in Star Wars films with Judd the way my dad did with me 40 years ago.

my brother was fired from mcdonald's slowly based off discrimination. he has mild autism and was super excited about starting his first day. not even a week in and they let him go. their reasoning? "his hands were a little too shaky when he gets anxious" @McDonalds
