<p>I’d second CMU, but would add Caltech (tho not in midwet). The Houses, the P/f system for first 2 quarters, lenient withdrawal system, single rooms, understanding Deans, etc., allow kids with Aspergers or some aspie symptoms to flourish.</p>
<p>I was thinking of Caltech too, because of his stats, if they’re Asperger-friendly then go for it.</p>
<p>@David1994 - Bill Gates has never been diagnosed with Asperger’s. That’s merely speculation (as is also the case for Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton).</p>
<p>Anyway, here’s a list of schools I found that offer programs for ASD students: [ASPFI</a> - Asperger Foundation International - College Resource Guide](<a href=“http://www.aspfi.org/college/]ASPFI”>http://www.aspfi.org/college/). If links aren’t allowed, search for ASPFI College Resource Guide.</p>
<p>I know someone who goes to Mercyhurst and is doing well there. Granted, though, he straddles the severe Asperger’s/high-function autism boundary (if there is one, that is, but in any case, his social skills deficits are not mild).</p>
<p>Beware of that college resource guide. I think that Marshall U had the first devoted Asperger’s program and I didn’t see it on the list. It think Alabama has the best program and it’s not on the list. The only school in Texas with a specific Asperger’s program is not on the list. The other school in Texas that has a lot of support is not on the list. I think that most of the schools on the list responded to a survey and affirmed that they are Asperger’s friendly.</p>
<p>OP, focus hard on the Executive Function issues. I’ve been on the journey that you are about to take and I’ve read a lot - many posts from parents here, and elsewhere. It seems like Aspies with severe EF issues crash and burn, no matter how smart they are. They need an intense, special program, like CLE or the one at Alabama. If a student has the Aspie personality issues, but not the EF issues, he can do fine with a few accomodations like maybe a single room and social support. </p>
<p>Talk to us and any parents of college aged Aspies that you know IRL. When all hell broke loose Son’s freshman year of college, I realized that not a single person in our school district who had been advising us through the years had one second of experience with COLLEGE and Aspergers. The lack of structure really works against Aspies with EFD. (But those with just the personality issues do fine in the right quirky environment.)</p>
