BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of research concerning individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) pursuing higher education. METHOD: This study sought to augment this gap in the literature by surveying individuals with ASD who are currently college students or who have previously attended college. RESULTS: Thirty-five individuals completed an online survey. These individuals reported receiving extensive academic supports that enabled their academic success. Their reported difficulties in the social and emotional domains received less support. In addition, not all areas of campus life were supportive, as study abroad and career service offices were reported to not understand individuals with ASD. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the results of this survey indicate the importance of self-advocacy and the need for institutions of higher education to provide comprehensive supports for individuals with ASD in the academic, social, and emotional domains in order to effectively integrate this group into the campus environment.
