Autism In Adulthood Is Different

1. As the parent of two adult ADHD/autistic cheldren -

- who, like yourself, are very intelligent I applaud your efforts to undertake a college degree. If you had an IEP in high school, please be advised that many, if not all, colleges and Universities are required to fulfill the support criteria in your last IEP. Check with your HS guidance counselor or Special Needs coordinator to verify and help you determine who to contact at your college to facilitate and implement the support you need.

My children also struggle with the same concerns you have of the workplace environments. It is sad to think that so much passionate energy expressed in your and their hobbies volunteer activities go financially unrewarded. Each of my children have opted to enroll in SNAPS, medicaid, ssdi, and public housing to provide basic needs.

Good luck to you in all your future endeavors.
