Upon entering university, students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) transition from IDEA to ADA and FERPA, shifting the responsibility for initiating services and advocacy from school personnel to themselves. These students, now considered adults, face challenges with relationships, sexuality, and consent—areas often neglected in their education, which can affect not only their personal well-being but also the broader university community. The presentation from the the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference aims to explore strategies to address these issues.

Description
When a high school student with ASD enters as a freshman at an university, he or she immediately loses access to the benefits and coverage of IDEA and enters the world of ADA and FERPA. The responsibility for identifying, documenting, initiating services and advocacy shift from the school personnel to the individual student. University students over 18 are considered adults. Issues related to relationships, sexuality, sexual health, consent and sexual behaviors are topics that are not always specifically addressed with students regardless of of their prior history of accessing services through K-12. Yet, we find that these are the very issues that high achieving students on the ASD spectrum struggle most with. Left unaddressed these behaviors may result in negative outcomes to the individual and their quality of life but also the university community affecting college attrition, completion rates, and campus culture. This presentation will discuss some ways to address this timely topic with students on the ASD spectrum that may have implications for neurotypicals who may have similar questions.
