Abstract
Purpose of review: Here we synthesise key recent (2021-2024) research that aims to understand the experience of autistic people, both staff and students, who navigate the Higher Education (HE) environment.
Recent findings: Autistic students and staff continue to experience a lack of flexible, consistent and personalised support within the HE context, and tensions remain between the benefits of disclosure and the discrimination that may result. Significant missed opportunities remain for greater social, emotional and practical supports for autistic members of the HE community. Distinct barriers to both access and 'flourishing' for autistic people within HE remain. Personal narratives continue to describe a range of both positive and negative experiences within HE, yet it remains clear that HE may be inherently hostile in its setup, and that it takes a great deal of effort to fight against this.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
