I am very curious if more require some accommodations, or of most require none. Is their any statistics available on this?

I read your question on more or less accommodations in college I go to a community college
And 5% on the spectrum have it and get accommodations but not enough to get the right services and help the accommodations are for more that have a math or dislexysia problem or they can't hear or see well or are totally blind or have a physical problem but not enough to help in the accomodations with people that are aspies.

I am not sure of the statistics as to how many Aspies need accommodations. I can only speak for myself, but I will be a senior in college this fall and I haven't had accommodations, at least not now. I suggest speaking with professors one-on-one, or else try seeing if there is a helpful counselor who is trained to help students with needs such as yours. :)

I have autism, and I don't know the statistics. I personally had accommodations in university though, and they helped me immensely.

I have Asperger's, and I do have a lot of accomodations in college.

I qualify for accommodations like extra time or a quiet room for tests, but I didn't use them once this year, and I did quite well without them. The only accommodation I have received is a single dorm room (as opposed to having a roommate).
