In this episode of Atypical 9to5, Rayna speaks with Dr. Theo Bakker, a Dutch researcher whose PhD focused on the success of autistic students in higher education. They discuss what large-scale data really shows, challenge common misconceptions, and explore how strategies like Universal Design for Learning can improve inclusion. They also touch on how academic challenges carry into the workplace—and what universities and employers can do better.
