Abstract
Professors and other instructors need to be aware of possible supports that a student on the
autism spectrum might find necessary to participate in class and complete classwork. The
following six sections briefly state a common concern for most students and list some possible
issues and accommodations. Each student on the autism spectrum has unique needs and
should work closely with instructors and other college staff to design an individualized plan of
proactive support and response to challenges if they arise. An attachment, Academic Supports
for College Students with an Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Overview, can be found at the end
of this article and is provided as an overview guide sheet.
