Together, we'll explore the essential steps from dual diagnosis to choosing the right college environment, ensuring that these unique learners aren't restricted by a single label but are empowered to reach their full intellectual and personal potential.
From interviews with parents of autistic college students, who've held high expectations from the start, to my own anecdotes about the remarkable capabilities these students displayed in my American Sign Language classes in Florida—this discussion is packed with heartfelt stories and practical advice. It's an eye-opening look at the importance of extracurriculars, leadership roles, and the careful selection of a college that not only accommodates but celebrates the diversity of giftedness and autism.
