Paper For Above instruction

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that contribute to the academic and social success of autistic students aged 18 to 25 in college settings. I chose this research topic because of a personal interest in understanding the unique challenges and support mechanisms that facilitate higher education achievement among autistic young adults. With the increasing enrollment of autistic students in colleges across the globe, it is vital to identify effective strategies and accommodations that promote their success. The main goal of this study is to identify key factors—such as campus resources, peer support, teaching methods, and self-advocacy skills—that influence their ability to thrive academically and socially. This research will employ a qualitative approach, gathering in-depth data through interviews and focus groups with autistic students, faculty, and support staff. By doing so, I aim to develop comprehensive insights into the lived experiences of autistic college students, which can inform policies and practices to better support their educational journey.
