As the number of students on the autism spectrum attending college steadily climbs, schools and students alike are trying to figure out how to manage the unique challenges experienced by this community.

Illustrated story excerpt shows a toy soldier holding a drum falls forward and curls into a ball. Text reads, “Unbearably slow, and all too quickly, I deflate to the cool February pavement—a melted snowman of fabric. I watch as he uses my outlet to plug in a tool with a slithery black cord hanging from its end.
