Frequently asked questions
About The Book
What problem does this book solve?
It bridges the gap between high school supports and college realities, giving students, families, and professionals a shared, step-by-step playbook for academic, social, and daily-living success.
Is the book only for students formally diagnosed with autism?
No. It’s written with autistic students in mind and is equally useful for students who identify as neurodivergent (ADHD, anxiety, executive-function challenges) or who prefer practical, structured guidance.
How is this different from other college guides?
It’s action-first. Every chapter includes checklists, scripts, and tools designed to use immediately, in class, with professors, and in daily routines, plus decision aids for common crossroads (e.g., transfer or major change).
Where can I buy it?
Include links to major retailers (paperback, eBook) and a form for institutional/bulk orders.
What formats are available? Paperback and eBook (EPUB/MOBI/PDF). An accessible PDF (tagged for screen readers) and large-print edition are planned, join the newsletter for release updates.
Using the Book
When should we start using it?
Ideally during junior/senior year of high school or summer before college. It also works well at the start of any semester or during advising/probation meetings.
Can a student use it without a special program?
Yes. The book assumes a typical campus and shows how to access supports through Disability Services, advising, and faculty, no specialized program required.
Will it replace counseling or Disability Services?
No. It complements campus and clinical supports by giving students concrete steps between appointments and meetings.
Does it include mental-health guidance?
Yes, practical routines and referral pathways. It is not medical advice; students should seek licensed care for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
