Perspectives on College Life at AANE

Sunday, March 6, 2016
2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Are you the parent of a teen* who is considering college? 

Are you or your teen  wondering...

  • What are the best and most challenging parts of college for someone on the autism spectrum (ASD)?
  • Should I write about my diagnosis in my college essay? 
  • What type of college environment will work for someone with Asperger's?
  • Should I live at home or away?
  • Should I ask for a single room if I live away?
  • How can I make friends at college?
  • How will I have time for everything I like to do AND do everything I have to do?
Come hear what current students or recent graduates with Asperger Syndrome and similar autism profiles have to say about their college experiences. Also hear the perspective of parents of college students.There will be refreshments, a link to a packet of college information sent after the seminar, and plenty of time to ask questions.
*Teens must be accompanied by an adult.

Fees: $40 per family (all living in the same household). All teens must be accompanied by a parent. $40 per professional.

Thanks to a generous grant from the John W. Alden Trust we are able to offer financial assistance to families in need who live east of Route 495 in Massachusetts.
