As a higher ed developer and instructor I'm naturally interested in, and concerned about, that transitional period into adulthood. I may not like all of the direction of the coverage about the 'rise in autism,' but I am definitely glad it's raising the awareness level of instructors everywhere. I found an article by a professor at the University of Alabama with an interesting slant - without working with the school's disability service, and without any declaration from his student, he perceived that his student needed a different approach and attempted to adjust his teaching accordingly. Not all instructors can be bothered. Kudos to Stephen Yoder!
