ProQuest LLC, D.Psy. Dissertation, Kean University
The purpose of this study was to explore college support services for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, specifically during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic. This study examined the service utilization of college students on the autism spectrum at a state university that houses an optional pay-for-service autism support program. The study examines how students on the autism spectrum -- those who are a part of this program and who are not are -- are supported by their university, and how such supports relate to student connection to their university and subsequent well-being. Overall, students with autism spectrum disorder reported feeling dissatisfied with their lives. Findings suggest that participants would benefit from ongoing and intensive support services for academics, social functioning, and mental health counseling.
