S25 accepted to Engineering. Looking for feedback on how socially accepting UM students are of Neurodiverse peers (both engineering and across campus). Presuming bullying not an issue but moreso if students will reach out to include them or if they are left on their own. S25 is very introverted; for example, he gets along with most and is fine in class but has not had friends to hang with for his birthday for 2 years. Despite the large number of clubs, not seeing many affiliations for this population. What are we missing?
Where do these students hang out? What clubs are they in? Any dorms to target? Is there social support for them?
