A growing numbers of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are being accepted into higher education..students on the spectrum add a lot of unique perspectives to college and university communities, and colleges and universities should take allegations of sexual assault seriously and encourage prompt reporting to Title IX offices.

students with ASD have a difficult time navigating social relationships. Sexual dynamics can be particularly complicated under certain circumstances, making those students unwittingly in violation of current definitions of misconduct at school. This problem was discussed on InsideHigherEd.com in a Feb. 8 article by Lee Burdette Williams, director of higher education training and development for the College Autism Network

it is important for higher education institutions to consider ASD as a defense applicable to Title IX complaints when appropriate

students with ASD who are issued a Title IX complaint should seek the assistance of an advisor who is knowledgeable about ASD and other mental health disorders and who has the ability to communicate those differences to the Title IX investigator. Without an advisor who understands ASD and how it impacts one’s day-to-day existence, autistic students facing Title IX complaints can find themselves misunderstood by investigators and seriously disadvantaged.

Sea turtle eggs usually hatch  between June and September , and the new sea turtle hatchlings must immediately make a perilous journey down the beach to the water. It's a dangerous time in a young turtle's life How many hatchlings survive loggerhead sea turtles? Only about  one in 1,000  turtles survive to adulthood. Hatchlings die of dehydration if they don't make it to the ocean fast enough. Birds, crabs, and other animals also prey on the young turtles. Where do turtle hatchlings go? Every sea turtle begins life in the same way. It hatches  within its buried nest , forces its way to the surface, and sprints towards the water past a gauntlet of crabs, birds and other predators. Many die, but they emerge in such numbers that there are plenty of survivors. They dive beneath the waves… and disappear
