Who Can Apply:
- Autistic students face many barriers in school, work, and life due to stigmas and stereotypes that affect their treatment.
- From difficulty making friends due to social struggles to complications with communication to unique learning styles to niche interests, autism can come with many symptoms that vary in severity and can be isolating for young students.
