Abstract	Black & Brown college students with autism are missing in the higher education research surrounding the college experience and college readiness. This is important because understanding the college experience and readiness for students center many debates and research queries within higher education practice and policy (Carnevale et al., 2010; Hurtado et al., 2020). Research also asserts these barriers are further compounded when considering the intersection of disability and minoritized identities (Chiang et al., 2012). The dominate narrative regarding these college barriers for autistic college students is centered around the experience of White college students with autism. This inadvertently pushes the nuanced experiences of Black & Brown students with autism to the margins and assumes homogeneity for the autistic college experience. Critical theories on race, education, and disability question the notion of a homogenous experience for all college students with autism and call researchers to intentionally interrogate such notions. Therefore, the purpose of this quantitative study was to describe the experiences and expectations for Black & Brown college students with autism. The findings of this study demonstrate there are differences between Black & Brown students with autism and their White autistic and Black & Brown students without autism peers for factors of college readiness and the relationship for college involvement. The results of this study will shed light on the factors that may influence their perceptions of college readiness for Black & Brown College students with autism and reiterate that the intersection of race and disability needs to be examined. Further, this study will serve as a resistance to the current autism literature that inadvertently conceals Black & Brown experiences.
