Abstract	Understanding the needs of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their post-high school experiences is a new and widely under-studied area of research (MacLeod & Green, 2009). The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of a young woman with ASD in her journey following high school graduation to the world of work and higher education. Problems for individuals with ASD in higher education are examined, and suggestions are given for university support for better recruiting and retaining these individuals. The results of this study will give practical strategies, support, and accommodations for professionals in higher education. (As Provided).
