Maude got in touch with us when she saw our platform in the press. We thank her for this spontaneous, lively and interesting exchange.

Nathalie Quartenoud Macherel and her colleagues, who work in the Department of Special Education, created this platform to facilitate the integration of autistic students into the academic environment.

Experimentation and identity are for me the two keys. Trust yourself to experiment, in other words succeed AND fail, and just be who you are and it will be ok.

Nicolas Ruffieux is a professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Fribourg. He describes the values behind this project.

We consider it an important matter that students on the autistic spectrum realise that they are not alone or isolated. Thank you, Alonso, for sharing your experience with us.
