Congratulations on taking this next step! Try to connect with other students from your area who are also going to your school. You can organize a public meetup to make new friends and get tips on moving to your new school. Also, look for other students who travel to and from campus during breaks, so you can travel together.

Before you start college, it's a good idea to talk to your university about any accommodations you might need, especially if you had them in high school. Your academic advisor or the admissions office can help you figure out who to contact.

Moving out of state for college is a big step! If change is tough for you, try to make your dorm room feel like home so you always know you have a safe space to go to. Bringing comforting items or things related to your interests can help.

Look for clubs and activities that match your interests. You might find something new and exciting, so don't be afraid to try different things. There might even be a group for students with autism. Joining clubs is a great way to meet new friends outside of class.

I hope this advice helps, and good luck with college! There will be challenges, but with the right support, I'm sure you'll do great.
