New Mental Health Guide for Autistic College Students

This informative and helpful resource was created by a collaborative team headed by Dr. Vanessa Bal, Co-Director of Research, Director of the Lifespan ASD Lab and the RCAAS-Psychological Services Clinic (PSC), Karmazin and Lillard Chair in Adult Autism, and Dr. Evan Kleiman, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University, as part of an Organization for Autism Research (OAR)-funded project, https://researchautism.org.

The team that created the guide was comprised of graduate students, staff, faculty, and clinicians, including several who identify as on the spectrum or neurodiverse. They compiled information from focus groups with autistic students in college and graduate school, some of their parents, and experiences gathered from a study with autistic students.
