Visiting Jack on Parents’ Weekend

“Carrie, right after our conversation, I went downstairs and told my son that a kid named Jack goes to college. If Jack can do it, so can he.”

My son Jack is diagnosed with autism, severe anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder. He is twenty and attends a college program a few hours away from us.

The program has a lot of great support, including an academic team, life skills coaching, and social groups.

I am forever grateful we found such a place, because I have no idea what we would have done for him after high school. In many ways, our home had stopped being a learning environment for him.

But how to begin looking for what seemed like the proverbial needle in a haystack? What was available for students like him – students who may not want a degree necessarily, but a chance to explore life after high school with some independence?
