New website helps autistic third-level students

Packed with practical information, the online resource will help to ease the transition to college

A new website to support students with autism beginning higher-level education – or resuming on-campus studies – has been launched by national autism charity AsIAm.

Funded by Rethink Ireland through Innovate Together Fund, the website has practical information to help make transitioning to third level successful. One in 65 students in school in Ireland has a diagnosis of autism – 86% attend mainstream schools
