My son is a high school senior, and has Aspergers, ADHD and mild anxiety. Executive functioning (organization, time management, attention, self-advocacy) and picking up on social cues are difficult for him. He's done well in school and is bright (1430 SAT - equivalent to 32 ACT), but we really believe he needs a college with an ASD support program. We're considering Alabama, Western Kentucky, UT Chattanooga, Marshall and West Florida. His GPA and SAT score are well above the average for these schools, so we think he has a good chance of being admitted, but the ASD programs are small, so no guarantees which ones would accept him. We'd appreciate any feedback or advice from anyone knowledgeable about these ASD programs and the universities. We also are wondering whether the honors college program that some of these schools offer is a good idea for someone in the ASD program. Thanks very much!
