I am autistic and I teach at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida. I conduct mini classes a few times a year for faculty on living with ASD and how to help ASD students be successful. We are actually a pretty ASD friendly college. Its a wonderful school with great staff.

Please include women with autism in your videos. Autism differs greatly in females and we want representation

Whether you have autism or neurotypical we don't fit in neat boxes.

[@olejoergenmalm16]

Just give them a simple vocational education.
