Editorial Reviews

Review

As students on the ASD spectrum and their families examine the possibility of college study and begin the selection, application and preparation for a college experience, they need all the help and advice they can get. A Freshman Survival Guide for College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a gem of help and hope in that process. Individuals on the spectrum, their families and their advisors will all benefit from Haley's thoughts and experiences. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this book is that Haley is LIVING this experience as she writes about it. -- From the foreword by Susan J. Moreno, CEO and Founder, OASIS@MAAP, MAAP Services for Autism and Asperger Syndrome

College is an amazing chance to redefine yourself - which means lots of adventures, and lots of choices. Haley's book is chock full of the lessons she's learned along her own journey, a bundle which she's generously sharing “from the front lines”. Covering day-to-day practicalities and life-changing decisions, the building blocks to your own unique college experience can be found right here. -- Jennifer Cook O'Toole, author of Asperkids, The Asperkids' (Secret) Book of Social Rules and other Asperkids titles

  • Shannon Quinn
    5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended for both Parents and Students
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2015
    I work as an academic coach for college students with disabilities, and I was given this from one of my colleagues. I really enjoyed it. Since I have already graduated college a couple year ago, I gleamed over a lot of the beginning sections. However, if I was 17 year old, I would have wanted to read this word-for-word. One of the criticisms this book received was that all of it could be Googled. That is true, but the fact of the matter is that there is something about reading advice not just one or twice, but multiple times before it really gets ingrained in us as truth. Also, it is difficult to find ALL the advice one needs from a blog, which is why this book is great.

    It is true that this book could easily be given to ANY High School senior, not just someone with Autism Spectrum Disorders. However, some of the information that may seem obvious to normative students (like the section on keeping up with good hygiene when your parents aren't there to remind you) is something that really needed to be said. I have seen it happen many, many times where students with learning disabilities forget to take care of themselves properly when they are on their own, and it really hinders their social experience. That is just ONE example of many, many tips that Haley Moss brings up in this book that could truly benefit a disabled student who is moving out on their own for the first time.

    I think my favorite part of the entire book was the letter to the parents, which was written by Haley Moss' parents. This book is worth the purchase just for that ending section alone. If you are a parent who is (understandably) worried about your child going off to college, even if they are living at home and commuting, please pick up this book. The both of you can read it together and discuss it. You can also discuss anything that concerns you with a counselor at their school's Disabilities/Special Needs Office.

    I like the premise of the book...lots of good points...but it reads like a story in many places...so not really a reference you can turn to for quick tips, you have to invest yourself in reading it from cover-to-cover. Still the author brings up a lot of great points. I would buy it again, however realize you will need to set some time aside to read it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars I was given a good view into the first year of college
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    While it was well written, I am not sure how much new information I gleamed. Most of the advice was not very tailored to the (or at least my) ASD community. I was given a good view into the first year of college, but I'm not sure it was anything I couldn't have found via a Google search.
    I do appreciate that it was directed towards the Autistic population, rather than the parent community. It is nice to be recognized as something other than a perpetual child.
