Deep Breaths: A Counselor’s Guide to the New Admissions Landscape

Navigating College Admissions in a Changing World

While college admissions are becoming more complex, with changing test policies, the use of AI, and fewer essays, the core goal remains the same: colleges want genuine, engaged students. It advises staying organized with school requirements, focusing on strong academics and meaningful activities, and using essays and recommendations to clearly show personal values and authentic interests. Ultimately, success comes from presenting a clear, honest story about who you are rather than trying to fit a “perfect” mold.

The Rise of Mild Autism in the United States and Taiwan: Prevalence, Inclusion, and Experimental Education or Homeschooling

Autism prevalence has risen substantially in both the United States and Taiwan, but the growth appears concentrated among children and individuals with milder presentations. In the United States, the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among 8-year-old children reached 32.2 per 1,000 in 2022. A recent analysis of Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network data from 2000 to 2016 found that the increase in autism prevalence was confined to children with mild, borderline, or no significant adaptive challenges, rising from 5.1 to 17.6 per 1,000. In Taiwan, 79% of autistic individuals are reported to be classified as having mild autism, and 94% of preschoolers with special needs were enrolled in regular kindergarten classes by 2023. However, neither country has sufficiently detailed data on whether autistic children with stronger adaptive skills remain in mainstream education, move into experimental education or homeschooling, or are otherwise educated outside conventional schools. This paper argues that prevalence statistics alone are insufficient to understand the educational realities of autistic children and the decisions families make in response to school environments.
