Tips for people with Asperger's to succeed in college

2. I wamt to repeat what Lucky Lib has said.

Please, please, please, be willing to seek out the help you need.

In recent years colleges have gotten much better at help students with various disabilities, which wasn't quite so true even a decade ago.

I also want to suggest that you especially make use of any services that will help you organize, stay on track, get all of your work done. Having some kind of routine is important.

My son with Asperger's was extremely reluctant to use the help offered him and wound up flunking out of two different colleges, despite being incredibly smart. The story does have a happy ending however, as he completed a CAD (computer aided design) degree in 2010 and is currently working in that field in an engineering firm and doing extremely well.
