Second language acquisition for learners with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and other forms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a vastly under-researched field, yet language facilitators have these students in their classrooms every day. Nevertheless, educators do not have the correct training and information to help learners achieve their language goals. This case study provides insight into how to create more inclusive classrooms for students with high functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome. It provides research on second language acquisition with learners on the autism spectrum and reveals the importance of inclusivity in language learning classrooms. The case study follows a University undergraduate student in his English for Specific Purposes courses for two-years at the University of Costa Rica. The case study provides insights and recommendations for language teachers to help ASD students acquire a second language.
