Abstract

This study explored the experiences of students diagnosed with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HF ASD) in higher education. It also investigated academic challenges in the mainstream, learning the coping strategies and opportunities of the existing special support programs. Data were analyzed through the integration of Yin's five phases of analysis, ensuring that it complements the stages of the multiple case study methodology and a structured, in-depth exploration of the data. The study enlisted a diverse group of participants across the Philippines. Findings underscored the resilience and adaptability of the participants to enhance a transformative impact of education for the special student population. Relevant concerns related to social interactions, the importance of inclusive environments, and the significance of self-advocacy, empowerment, and familial and peer support for academic success are highlighted. In conclusion, the study recommends the establishment of on-campus counseling services tailored to HF ASD students and advocates for the fostering of inclusive and supportive higher education environments. This research contributes valuable insights for developing targeted interventions and support systems to enhance the overall well-being and success of HF ASD students thriving in the college setting.
在大学中茁壮成长:菲律宾高等教育中的高功能自闭症谱系障碍定性研究
本研究探讨了被诊断为高功能自闭症谱系障碍(HF ASD)的学生在高等教育中的经历。它还调查了主流教育中的学业挑战,了解了现有特殊支持项目的应对策略和机遇。数据分析结合了殷氏分析的五个阶段,确保与多案例研究方法的各个阶段相辅相成,并对数据进行结构化的深入探索。这项研究的参与者来自菲律宾各地。研究结果凸显了参与者的应变能力和适应能力,以增强教育对特殊学生群体的变革性影响。与社会交往相关的问题、全纳环境的重要性以及自我主张、赋权、家庭和同伴支持对学业成功的重要意义都得到了强调。总之,本研究建议建立针对高频 ASD 学生的校内咨询服务,并倡导营造包容性和支持性的高等教育环境。这项研究为制定有针对性的干预措施和支持系统提供了有价值的见解,以提高高频 ASD 学生在大学环境中的整体福祉和成功率。
