Description
How do you know which college is right for you? What happens if you don't get on with your roommate? And what on earth is the Greek system all about? As a university student with High-Functioning Autism, Haley Moss offers essential tips and advice in this insider's guide to surviving the Freshman year of college.
Chatty, honest and full of really useful information, Haley's first-hand account of the college experience covers everything students with Autism Spectrum Disorders need to know. She talks through getting ready for college, dorm life and living away from parents, what to expect from classes, professors and exams, and how to cope in new social situations and make friends.
This book is a must-read for all students on the autism spectrum who are about to begin their first year of college, parents and teachers who are helping them prepare, and college faculty and staff.
Advance Praise
'As students on the ASD spectrum and their families examine the possibility of college study and begin the selection, application and preparation for a college experience, they need all the help and advice they can get. A Freshman Survival Guide for College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a gem of help and hope in that process. Individuals on the spectrum, their families and their advisors will all benefit from Haley's thoughts and experiences. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this book is that Haley is LIVING this experience as she writes about it.'
- From the foreword by Susan J. Moreno, CEO and Founder, OASIS@MAAP, MAAP Services for Autism and Asperger Syndrome
'Haley Moss does a wonderful job of speaking directly to spectrum students about the daily realities of being a college student: buying textbooks, visiting home, dating, living with a roommate, preparing for a career, etc. She covers all the key elements that a student and his/her family should be thinking about. Her engaging voice and insights make this practical handbook both helpful and enjoyable to read. The included note from her parents also offers some sage advice on preparing an entire family for the transition to university life. A worthwhile reference for students and parents.'
