College Success for Students on the Autism Spectrum
Helping both college faculty and student affairs staff enlarge their understanding of the experiences of students on the autism spectrum, this book provides guidance on putting supports in place to increase college success. Uniquely, the authors bring the perspective of neurodiversity to this work. Many individuals on the autism spectrum have been stigmatized by the diagnosis and experience autism as a negative label that brings with it marginalization and barriers through an emphasis on deficits. Autistic self-advocates within the neurodiversity movement are leading the charge to rethinking autism as neurodiversity, and to celebrating autism as central to identity. Neurodiversity is not a t...
Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces
Assist the growing neurodivergent population with strategic adjustments to physical spaces Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces: Advancing Sensory Processing and Cognitive Well-Being in the Built Environment explores how to employ strategic spatial zoning and sequencing, sensory zones, patterns, textures, colors, lighting, and soundscaping to create spaces that cater to the various sensory needs of neurodivergent individuals, who now make up 1/5 of the world's population. This group possesses unique strengths that can be harnessed if they are in environments designed to be welcoming and supportive of their needs. Written by Kay Sargent of HOK, a leader in the field of workplace design and arc...

Social and Emotional Support for Autistic Students on Campus
This book examines the social and emotional challenges faced by autistic students as they pursue their goals at colleges and universities. It explores the nature of autism, with its unique set of challenges and benefits. It views autism from the inside, through the lens of neurodiversity, a point of view from which autism and other conditions are seen as variations of a complex human nervous system, rather than disorders to be cured. Topics covered in this book include cognition and social interaction, identity development, gender, intersectionality, controversies, the challenges of living in a community, and the emergence of neurodiversity culture. The book focuses on the experience of autistic individuals during late adolescence and early adulthood. It also offers practical advice and information for those who work with autistic students.
