It is well documented that academia has an ableist problem; however, our dataindicate that ND students feel supported by their peers [4]. This is a very positive finding wheremost studies highlight the negative experiences of ND students [22].Figure 2: Research Demographics related to all participants (96 participants) separating outthe type of research conducted and whether the research was volunteer, credit-bearing, or paid.Neurodivergent participants had a larger percentage indicated strongly agree or agree

naturally occurwithin social contexts (Lofland, 1971; Merriam & Tisdell, 2016). This approach assumes thatpeople’s values, attitudes, and behaviors are shaped by the social situation. Consequently,ethnographic researchers gather multiple types of qualitative data such as observations,interviews, and documentary evidence. This allows them to understand the context-dependentnature of people’s actions in naturalistic settings. Since the 1970s, educational research hasincreasingly adopted the ethnographic approach (Gordon et al., 2011; Green & Bloome, 2004).Its application spans various domains in education, including medical education (Reeves et al.,2013), second language teaching (Flowerdew & Miller, 1995), and social science education

This was found to better prepare students for lectureson new concepts, as well as give instructors more time to teach the new concept in class as theydid not need to review prerequisite knowledge with students [4]. Similarly, another study foundthat having more tutorials or example problems was helpful in engineering students'comprehension of math [12]. Other studies tested new e-learning practices and programs [5], [9-10]. They found that this style of learning was the best alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic;however, it also produced more confusion during certain laboratory activities [5], [10].
