这项研究描述了自闭症谱系的大学生的学术，社会和健康经验，因为他们与其他残疾学生和他们的非残疾，神经正常的同龄人相比。数据来自对14所公共机构的大学生（N=3073）的在线调查。有几个显着差异的学生之间的频谱和学生与其他残疾。这两组学生在学习成绩、社会关系和欺凌以及身心健康方面的结果都比神经质学生差。研究结果表明，自闭症谱系障碍学生在大学里面临的一些挑战是由于与残疾相关的耻辱和社会排斥，而不是自闭症的独特特征。
This study describes the academic, social, and health experiences of college students on the autism spectrum as they compare to students with other disabilities and their non-disabled, neurotypical peers. Data were from an online survey of college students at 14 public institutions (N=3073). There were few significant differences between students on the spectrum and students with other disabilities. Both groups of students reported significantly worse outcomes than neurotypical students on academic performance, social relationships and bullying, and physical and mental health. The findings suggest that some of the challenges students on the spectrum face in college result from the stigma and social rejection associated with disability rather than from the unique characteristics of autism.
