Students in Connecticut With Autism Adapting Better at College
When Rachel Sczurek wanted to go to college, some people told her it wasn’t a good idea.
“I didn’t really let that get to me,” she said. “It got to me a little bit, but I graduated magna cum laude and I did really well.”
Sczurek was one of four people on the autism spectrum who spoke at a conference at the University of Saint Joseph, where she graduated in 2013. She’s now a professional cake decorator.
According to a study published in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry, higher education is seeing a growing number of students on the autism spectrum.
