Experiences of University life for Students with Asperger’s Syndrome: A Comparative Study between Spain and England
Research has consistently shown that young people with Asperger Syndrome (AS) are likely to experience increased anxiety during new social situations; yet, studies have been regionally and culturally bound. This comparative study between Spain and England, which to our knowledge is the first of its kind, explored the experiences of university life for students with Asperger’s Syndrome and revealed experiences which appear to transcend EU borders. At this seminar, two of the authors will discuss the main research findings.
