      Participants first signed up on Sona Systems to take the survey, and then were given 60 minutes to complete the survey online on any device with Internet capabilities, taking an average of 28.65 minutes (SD equals 21.84). They were not debriefed after completion of the survey but they were thanked for their participation.

      Results (Center aligned and boldfaced)

      To review, I hypothesize that individuals who reported a greater familiarity with current autism knowledge would be more willing to accommodate peers with autism. To measure the independent variable of familiarity with autism knowledge, respondents self-reported their familiarity with autism knowledge on a scale of 1 equals not at all familiar to 4 equals very familiar. The dependent variable of willingness to accommodate peers with autism was measured on a scale of 1 equals not willing at all to 10 equals very willing. There is not a significant difference between individuals not at all familiar with (M equals 7.86, SD equals 1.91), slightly familiar with (M equals 8.78, SD equals 1.70), somewhat familiar with (M equals 9.13, SD equals 1.48), and very familiar with (M equals 8.25, SD equals 3.50) autism knowledge and their self-reported willingness to accommodate peers with autism, F(3,89) equals 2.09, p equals .107. This hypothesis was also tested by comparing reported familiarity with autism knowledge with willingness to become a peer mentor for a student with autism, measured on a scale of 1 equals not willing at all to 10 equals very willing. There is not a significant difference between individuals not at all familiar with (M equals 7.81, SD equals 1.91), slightly familiar with (M equals 8.20, SD equals 2.10), somewhat familiar with (M equals 8.71, SD equals 1.90), and very familiar

I also hypothesize that individuals who personally know someone with autism would also report a greater willingness to accommodate peers with autism. The question of interest was “do you personally know an individual with autism,” with answers 1 equals yes and 2 equals no. The following dependent variable of willingness to accommodate peers with autism was measured on a scale of 1 equals not willing at all to 10 equals very willing. There is not a significant difference between individuals who know someone with autism (M equals 8.92, SD equals 1.62) and those who do not know someone with autism (M equals 8.19, SD equals 2.04) and their self-reported willingness to accommodate peers with autism, t (88) equals 1.91, p equals .060. This hypothesis was also tested by comparing responses to the question of interest with reported willingness to become a peer mentor for a student with autism, measured on the scale of 1 equals not willing at all to 10 equals very willing. There is not a significant difference between individuals who know someone with autism (M equals 8.49, SD equals 2.08) and those who do not know someone with autism (M equals 7.86, SD equals 2.09) on their self-reported willingness to accommodate peers with autism, t (87) equals 1.40, p equals .165. When comparing the two variables related to the hypotheses, there is a significant difference between those who know an individual with autism (M equals 2.30, SD equals 0.82) and those who do not (M equals 1.81, SD equals 0.78) on their familiarity with current knowledge on autism measured on a scale of 1 equals not at all familiar to 4 equals very familiar, F (1,89) equals 8.09, p equals .006. In general, measured on a scale of 1 equals not willing at all to 10 equals very willing, there was also a high

Willingness to participate in a peer mentorship program for students with autism, measured on a scale of 1 equals not willing at all to 10 equals very willing, was also high across respondents, M equals 8.24, SD equals 2.09.

      Discussion (center aligned and boldfaced)

      Although many of the college students reported only being slightly familiar with autism knowledge, an encouraging finding was an overall willingness among students to assist and accommodate peers with autism. This high degree of willingness is a promising outcome as it may pave the way for greater integration of students with autism, consequently increasing their rate of academic success.

      Students even conveyed a willingness to become peer mentors for students with autism, if it was offered as a program for college credit, which may be a viable option for some universities as a way to support students with autism, and perhaps other disabilities.

      In this study I hypothesized that knowing an individual with autism, such as a family member, a coworker, or a friend, would relate with more willingness to accommodate a peer with autism. I also hypothesized that those more familiar with current knowledge on autism would also report a higher degree of willingness to assist peers with the disorder. In conducting this study I found that among the students in the sample, knowing an individual with autism and/or reporting more familiarity with current knowledge on the disorder did not have a relationship with the individual’s willingness to accommodate a peer with autism.
