Welcome to Different Minds, One CMU!

Navigating college life can be challenging. Different Minds, One CMU aims to support any student who has a formal diagnosis of autism or who self-identifies as autistic. CMU has a wealth of resources but understanding what is available and how to access it, can be hard. Different Minds, One CMU is here to help. 

College can be frustrating with schedule changes, time management, and making friends. Feeling overwhelmed is common and we want to help students navigate the transition to college in ways that work for them. Different Minds, One CMU is a place where students can be their authentic selves. 

Services are free to CMU students. Students can choose to schedule 1:1 consultations with a trained and experienced consultant or make connections at the Different Minds Community meetings. 

If you are a faculty member looking to support a student in your classroom, you may also schedule a consultation. 

We look forward to meeting you!

Scheduled consultations begin Fall 2026.
