  ABSTRACT: Young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are increasingly attending postsecondary education. However, the graduation rate and academic performance of tertiary-level students with ASD are significantly poorer than that of neurotypical students. In addition, postsecondary students with ASD struggle with loneliness, anxiety, high level of stress, depression, and suicidal behaviors. This review focuses on the current psychological support systems for students with ASD enrolled in higher education. A range of interventions are available, many of which are feasible and show high satisfaction rates among students with ASD. This review shows the need for institutions of higher education to provide psychological supports for students with ASD.
