No geographical considerations here, but thanks for asking. And, thanks for the Muhlenberg, Carnegie Mellon, and U Pitt suggestions. There are possibilities at these schools. Also Augsberg College in Minneapolis offers an Aspie personalized program... the college is Evangelical Lutheran which may cause some to explore further. FYI for all... Marshall U, U Conn, W KY, and others require a full year plus to plan for possible admission... in the case of my college transfer son, he just can't wait that long. Thank you, Laura, for some additional options.

I am currently in the College Program for Students with Asperger's Syndrome at Marshall. I am a sophomore psychology major and counseling minor.

Well if he has any artistic tallent, an art school would be a great place to go.
Most art colleges are crammed full of those who dont fit in and have a very accepting attitude of what makes us unique. And, they generally shun fraternities and such.
I learned to accept who I am in art school. The best majors to go into right now is computer art, illustration, and graphic design....most everything else will not get your son a job.

Computer art takes only a minimal amount of artistic skill, and some computer know how to get great results

I thought UC Santa Barbara had some good Aspie specific support resources .... can't recall where I got that info though.
