More on Asperger's in College Dawn Prince-Hughes is an adjunct prof. of anthropology at Western Washington University and has just written a nice piece of the Chronicle of Higher Education on Understanding College Students with Autism.  Unfortunately, I can't link you to the article because the Chronicle requires membership to read the online version (you'd think higher ed. folks would be more enlightened!).  She supports my idea that we can't just change the student with Asperger's/Autism, but must educate those around the person about the nature of this problem.  I just ordered her new book, Aquamarine Blue 5 which includes personal stories of college students with AS and autism.  Before I ordered the book on Amazon, I of course used Jon Udell's Librarylookup to see if the book was in my local library! 5:45:09 PM    comment []
