Amy Edwards, EdD is the Director of the Center for Autism and Neurodiversity (formerly the Drexel Autism Support Program) at Drexel University.  As Director since 2017, she continues to develop and maintain the center as one of the leading college autism support programs in the country.  Dr. Edwards manages a small but mighty team who work with her to support students in all areas at Drexel including academics, athletics, social life, residence hall life, and the transition to independent living. Dr. Edwards previously worked in Life Course Outcomes at the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute, where her program development and research focused primarily on postsecondary education opportunities and the transition from high school to higher education and employment for students with autism. Amy’s approach to autism and neurodiversity is informed not only from her experience and research but also from her personal life as a mother of four children, the oldest of which has autism spectrum disorder. Amy’s most recent publications and presentations have focused on autism spectrum services in post-secondary education and employment during and after college.
