🎓 College doesn’t have to be overwhelming for autistic students — and Mercyhurst University proves it.
In this episode, I’m joined by Ryan Palm, Director of the AIM Program at Mercyhurst, to explore how their college creates real support systems for neurodivergent students.
From autism-specific housing and taco night social clubs, to personalized academic mentoring and life skills training — Mercyhurst’s AIM Program is helping students not only survive, but thrive.
💡 Whether you're an autistic young adult, a parent planning for transition, or an educator looking for inspiration — this episode breaks down what college can look like when students are truly seen, supported, and empowered.
