Colleges consider the next step for grads with Asperger's

The newest wave of diversity to reach college campuses includes the first generation of young adults to be diagnosed with Asperger's as children. Like any college student with a documented disability, those with Asperger's are eligible for unique accommodations, but educators are also concerned about what happens after college, to help them land jobs and meaningful careers. "We've got to think — in higher education and in the broader society — about the next step," said John Bennett, director of disability resources and services at Temple. "It doesn't end here. It's really just beginning."
