A form was given to be filled by the participants wherein their entries might be picked to be featured on The Time's website.
Writing an essay with a maximum of 150 words about the participant's experiences regardless whether the story they'll share was a negative or a positive experience as long as it will contribute to the improvement of their classmates, professors, administrators and basically, everyone to understand more about autism and to the enhancement of their college experience as cited in The New York Times.
