Graduation for anyone is a scary thing, right? Especially when you grew up in a sheltered environment where everything you need is provided by your parents. Finally you are on your own. This is the scary part.
Imagine, for a moment, that your are an autistic individual on your way to the real world. This is harder since the environment in which you grew up in is a controlled one, meaning that your parents and school control the surroundings for you to be able to cope better. But in the real world of business it is not the same. You will encounter people who are not as understanding as the people you grew up with and most of them work in unethical ways.
Also you have to dress up all by yourself, fend on your own, brush your teeth, wear appropriate clothes and use a deodorant. These may come easy to others but for autistic individuals it can be a chore.
However, this may not be the problem for you, it may be for others. Problems in the work area may arise since others do not understand what autism is. They discriminate against it. For the bosses, they have to train autistic individuals to be able to function in the work area plus make the employees understand the situation of the autistic individaul tehy have to work with.
For all this to work out, an autistic individual should be made to realize that a big change will occur in his or her life once he or she graduates from college. having mentor or therapist or simply family support will be able to help the individul cope with the major changes in life.
