Christopher Ashworth is a third-year student at the University of Northern Colorado, who lives at the top floor of Turner Hall and likes to play video games with his friends across the world, online. To his friends, Ashworth says he is known for his dry sense of humor, but ever since he could remember, Ashworth has had to deal with depressive thoughts. About a week into his freshman year in 2017, Ashworth failed his first calculus test and found himself dealing with some incredibly dark, depressing thoughts.
âI had always struggled with depression as a teenager, but, like, my family didnât believe in therapy, so I never really received help for it. So, I thought it would be good for me to, you know, actually receive professional help,â Ashworth said.

NEW BRUNSWICK The newest offering from Rutgers University s Center for Adult Autism Services, a first-of-its-kind, 10,000-square foot Community Center is now operational on the Douglass Campus.
Custom-built and designed with $9.5 million in philanthropic funds, the center currently offers three core programs: SCALE, or Supporting Community Access through Leisure and Employment, a Psychological Services Clinic, and a College Support Program for autistic undergrads.
A fourth program, the Intensive Outpatient Unit for adults actively in behavioral crisis, is set to begin later this year.
Dr. Christopher Manente, RCAAS founding executive director, said Rutgers commitment to helping those with autism spectrum disorders dates back to its first, university-based school for children with autism, which opened in 1972.
