EPISODE 37: FOR SAM, BEST ANSWER IS ONLINE LEARNING
•
Autism Goes To College
Sam is a grad student at Adams State University in Colorado where he's working towards a Master's in Psychology. It's a program that's mostly online and meets in person one week a month. That hybrid situation is a good fit for Sam, who had mixed experiences as an undergrad. He felt overwhelmed at times, didn't always love dorm living, and took a medical leave for part of one semester. But he got back on track with online classes, building his own schedule around school, and living in an apartment. He never had accommodations, but as a psychology student, he gained some insights into his own learning style and challenges, and in this episode, he shares his path to a late diagnosis and his academic successes.
