Networking is also difficult if you're not neurotypical and/or handicapped...
Disagree.
Networking, as in introducing yourself to people blindly absolutely is. I mean simply talking to the person next to you, discussing questions in small groups, being involved in a workshop. Talking to your group in a group assignment.
And if thats still too hard - many unis have clubs for neurodiverse students.
What field are you in? If you're in computer science then congrats, you're surrounded by them!
Comp Sci students don't do the hiring though; business majors and HR do. So being anything other than neurotypical is still a disadvantage.
Students don't do the hiring, but they can tell the people who are hiring that you're the right choice.
