The university experience of students with ASD was explored through a qualitative study of 11 former university students and six significant others from Australia and New Zealand. A range of key issues were identified including difficulties encountered when studying, reasons for completion and non-completion, supports used, and coping strategies used by the participants. Many switched to part-time to manage their poor mental health and/or executive function and most had slow rates of progress. Also, some felt they had made poor discipline choices. The participants offered suggestions for future students and for making universities more autism friendly, and the possible need for transition and more structured study supports was identified.
本研究通过对来自澳大利亚和新西兰的 11 名曾就读大学的自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）学生和 6 名重要他人进行定性研究，探索了 ASD 学生的大学体验。研究确定了一系列关键问题，包括学习中遇到的困难、完成和未完成学业的原因、使用的支持以及参与者使用的应对策略。许多人转为兼职以应对较差的心理健康和/或执行功能，且大多数人的进展都较为缓慢。此外，一些人认为自己选择了较差的学科。参与者为未来的学生以及让大学更加包容自闭症学生提出了建议，并指出可能需要过渡和更有组织的学习支持。
