| Sumario: | This article describes results of structured interviews with college students on the autism spectrum concerning their career planning experiences. Participants attended community colleges and/or universities in Virginia and ranged from freshmen through graduate school. Results describe four emerging themes based on students' knowledge of, and participation in, career related services and supports. These are choosing a major, using career centers, self-disclosure, and career related services and supports. Authors also sought to obtain students' perspectives on what information, services, and resources they need to better prepare for their careers.
