The problem addressed in this study was the lack of advanced communication and social skills instruction for post-secondary students with ASD. This qualitative single case study described the preferred resources and supports of post-secondary students with autism spectrum disorder related to advanced communication and social skills. Using the conceptual framework of Astin's inputs, environments, and outcomes model, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 post-secondary students to describe their academic and social experiences, the resources and support offered at their colleges, and their preferences in communication technology and other non-academic supports. The research questions focused on the participants' social and academic experiences, satisfaction with the supports offered at their college or university, and the types of supports that benefitted them most. Interviews and documents from their college and university advertisements, websites, and social media sites were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicated that the higher education institutions offered a wide range of academic and non-academic resources and support for students with autism, but participants were not always able to access these services. Participants identified social interactions, executive function, building rapport with professors, and finding sensory-friendly living and study environments as challenges to their success in college. Participants also identified that having mentors, advisors, and counseling support were critical for addressing social communication and executive function challenges. Most participants preferred written and face-to-face forms of communication, specifically texts, emails, and video calls, when interacting with professors, seeking assistance, or engaging with peers. Most participants were satisfied with their academic performance but dissatisfied with their social experiences. Further research is recommended to address the nonacademic needs of post-secondary students with ASD.
