As postsecondary institutions look to respond to the growing need for support services for individuals with ASD, insights derived from large, population\u2010based samples is a necessity. The current study included a sample of over 2000 incoming postsecondary students who self\u2010identified with ASD as a part of surveys distributed by institutions nationally. The impact of heterogeneity (gender, comorbid attention\u2010deficit\/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD], and\/or learning disability) on demographic characteristics, and psychosocial (psychological health, interpersonal self\u2010confidence) and academic (self\u2010regulated learning, intellectual self\u2010confidence) domains critical for success in postsecondary education were compared to a matched sample of students with ADHD or no diagnoses. College\u2010bound students with ASD broadly endorsed similar rates of ADHD, LD, and psychological disorder comorbidity to clinic\u2010referred samples, and were more similar than different from their typically developing peers. A comorbid diagnosis of ADHD was associated with greater academic disengagement. Females with ASD and those with any comorbid disorder were more likely to self\u2010report poorer psychological health. Findings revealed that self\u2010reported levels of functioning in critical domains differed by self\u2010reported comorbid disorders and gender. Findings have implications for targeted support service recommendations based on unique sources of heterogeneity (e.g., gender, presenting comorbid disorders) and are detailed in the current study. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Autism Res<\/jats:bold> 2019, 12: 931\u2013940<\/jats:italic>. \u00a9 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Lay Summary<\/jats:title><jats:p>College\u2010bound students with ASD feel academically competent; however feel less confident with their peers. Students with ASD and another diagnosis (e.g., ADHD, learning disability) and girls with ASD may be particularly at risk of experiencing poorer psychological health while enrolled in postsecondary education. Using this information, postsecondary institutions can provide more targeted support services to students with ASD enrolled in postsecondary education.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/aur.2099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,10]],"date-time":"2019-04-10T13:33:31Z","timestamp":1554903211000},"page":"931-940","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Academic and psychosocial characteristics of incoming college freshmen with autism spectrum disorder: The role of comorbidity and gender"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5060-1838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra","family":"Sturm","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California  Los Angeles California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Connie","family":"Kasari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California  Los Angeles California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10803-017-3257-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rasd.2017.04.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10802-010-9479-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapediatrics.2014.210"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/ceps.2001.1094"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","unstructured":"CIRP.
