This study explored the experiences of students diagnosed with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HF ASD) in higher education. It also investigated academic challenges in the mainstream, learning the coping strategies and opportunities of the existing special support programs. Data were analyzed through the integration of Yin's five phases of analysis, ensuring that it complements the stages of the multiple case study methodology and a structured, in-depth exploration of the data. The study enlisted a diverse group of participants across the Philippines. Findings underscored the resilience and adaptability of the participants to enhance a transformative impact of education for the special student population. Relevant concerns related to social interactions, the importance of inclusive environments, and the significance of self-advocacy, empowerment, and familial and peer support for academic success are highlighted. In conclusion, the study recommends the establishment of on-campus counseling services tailored to HF ASD students and advocates for the fostering of inclusive and supportive higher education environments. This research contributes valuable insights for developing targeted interventions and support systems to enhance the overall well-being and success of HF ASD students thriving in the college setting
