This book describes the unique needs that ASD students entering further or higher education are likely to have. The author identifies the key skill-sets they will need to develop in order to be successful in college and in life, and shows how they can be helped to develop these.

She outlines the skills required for success in further and higher education in relation to the strengths and weaknesses of individuals with ASDs, and explains how those weaknesses can be ameliorated to enable success at college. Describing the unique accommodations and support that students with ASD will need, and the skills for which they will need particular help, she provides effective intervention strategies that can be implemented throughout the period leading up to college entrance.

This book is essential reading for psychologists, special educators, educational therapists, high school teachers/career counselors, and other professionals supporting high school and college students on the autism spectrum. Parents of such students will also benefit from the ideas presented in this book.

"This book focuses on getting ready for college, but its concepts are useful for preparing any teen with Aspergers or Autism Spectrum Disorder for life after high school. Learning to structure and organize many of the repetitive life skills needed for independent living is vital, so that the unexpected things that come into any life are not overwhelming. I highly recommend this book." - Peregrinn
