My name is Jeff Edelstein and I work with an organization called the College Autism Network (CAN), based out of Florida State University. We here at the College Autism Network have just launched a new project with hopes of gathering and sharing stories about what it’s like to be a college student with autism. By sharing these stories online, we hope to amplify the voices of college students with autism, increase acceptance and awareness of autism and autistic people in college, encourage other students with autism to earn a college degree, and promote institutional initiatives designed to improve college experiences and outcomes for students on the autism spectrum.

Please share this post with colleagues, friends, families, and clients who may know current or former college students with autism! For more information, or to participate, visit CanDoCollege.org, and contact us at info@collegeautismnetwork.org or jeff.edelstein@collegeautismnetwork.org if you have any questions.
