All schools have support for students (accommodations) but they vary. Syracuse U is loud, busy and heavy on parties but they have two pluses:
SU Disability Services doesn’t require she have documentation from prior accommodations or a specific neuropsych report. It’s all based on filling out a form and having a zoom call talking about where she needs support. This may not seem like a big deal but it’s the difference between being overwhelmed and wanting to go home, vs feeling like people really want you to succeed and have your back.
Second - SU has a for-pay program called OnTrack that assigns an advisor for planning/organization for all those assignments projects and quiz dates you need to keep track of. They also have group or 1:1 tutoring.
Adlephi University has the Bridges to Adelphi program.
These programs are great for ADHD/ASD Level 1 students who are doing well but need just a little extra executive functioning support.
I do not know the extent of their science majors though.
K&W guide from Princeton has a list of Colleges and their support programs.
Other colleges I know of are too far from the Northeast.

Just a follow up, she was accepted into Cornell and into ESF as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Wow, congrats to her! Has she decided where to go?
Congrats. Wanted to mention that even though her high school did not give her accommodations, whatever college she chooses may. I had a friend who DD had anxiety and some other issues which she did not get accommodations for her at her high school. At the end of high school she got a neuro eval and submitted to her college disabilities office. After a zoom interview her college gave her double time. She ended up transferring and got double time at the new school as well
