Approximately 40–70% of individuals with ASD experience a mental health issue, and these issues may be a contributing factor for students not completing their degrees. Using data from a Canadian peer-mentorship program, the present study examined the prevalence of mental health issues in post-secondary students with ASD, their service utilization patterns, and barriers to accessing services they need. Many participants reported experiencing at least one co-occurring mental health diagnosis, and although they accessed some mental health supports, they reported requiring more support. Participants also indicated facing multiple barriers when accessing services. Findings from the present study inform how educators, counselors, and other professionals can best support individuals with ASD to ensure positive and successful post-secondary education. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
