I think all the suggestions above are a really good idea. One of my kiddos is on the spectrum and got a little studio apartment on campus his sophmore year. He says it was a really good choice for him. He can hang out with his friend at the ‘party house’ when he wants to socialize and then has his own space to come back to. I know that housing often opens for next year around this time - so keep that in mind for next year. For this year - yeah talk to your roommate, hopefully they have headphones – and then talk to Disability Support Services – they may be able to obtain a single room.
