Does anyone have advice for getting accomodations for a single sophmore. I'm autistic, and have bad allergies? My roomate is awesome, but I'm struggling.

i was able to getting a single room accommodation due to autism from my school, i had 2 horrible roommates and one good one but he wanted to talk all the time and i couldnt handle the constant social interaction after being drained for the day regarding accommodations: have you reached out to accessibility services? I am unsure what to do if you are not formally diagnosed, but if you are, you should be able to submit your paperwork and apply. It might not be possible until next semester,

or the next academic year. I would go to accessibility services in person to see what they recommend as well. On top of my previously submitted diagnosis, I got a note from my therapist which explained why I requested a single room accommodation. That might not be necessary, but I would ask accessibility services on what they require. for my school, any note from a health provider was valid, so I could’ve gotten a note from my primary doctor as well. Make sure you have clear reasons in mind

as to why you need this accommodation, just in case! Also specify if you are looking for a single room or a single apartment. a single room is an easier request to accommodate! good luck! (sincerely, a second year with a single room)

I'm diagnosed with SPCD instead of Autism but my therapist and psychiatrist think it was a misdiagnosis since I have sensory issues

ok! that’s def sm to get looked at so you could hopefully correct it, but that might still work for accommodations! i’d say my advice remains the same with more emphasis on asking your accessibility center what your options are :3
