The transition from high school to college can be overwhelming, especially for autistic and neurodivergent students and their families. Matt Gunter shares insights from his research, lived experience, and his work supporting families through one of the highest stakes transitions they will face.
The conversation focuses on why college struggles are often less about academics and more about executive functioning, mental health, and self-advocacy, and why a student’s willingness to seek and accept help can make all the difference. Matt also explains the important shift parents must make from being a manager to a consultant and how allowing productive struggle can lead to long-term success. This is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone supporting neurodivergent young adults as they navigate independence, identity, and life after high school.
