| No that's a really mean thing to say. You didn't consider or read anything I said. I know what's it like to when people tell you don't have a disorder when you do(I myself having adhd) but on the other hand I also recognize people everywhere can worry about having a disorder when they don't. So plea... |

| Long ago I discovered this site and learned about the disorder of Aspergers. I entered this sort internal conflict if I had or not; I think many people on this site are in the same conflict and judging by their posts and my experience working with students on the spectrum I believe most of those in ... |

| You'll also receive protection and accommodations at your university! As ADA also covers colleges; for example I am have poor hand-writing and I am very easily distracted so for my classes the notes for my classes are provided by the office and I get to take tests in a quiet, noise-free environment.... |

| I agree there is alot overlap and medicine is very complicated and the information I listed is what you'll receive from any medical website as warning signs of those disorders.

| Have you ever thought about seeing a psychologist? I don't mean it as an insult but speaking with someone who is experienced with ASD could really help you and give you some useful advice. I was seeing one for my ADHD and just talking to someone helps alot along with gaining a new perspective. |

| Hello; For a long time I was convinced I had Aspergers despite the fact that I was once a gregarious and sociable person. I exhibited almost all of the signs and it really baffled me and I have spent alot of time researching the subject of other possible causes that could be confused with Aspgergs. ... |

You could also perform contract work to avoid working in a law firm or work for a tech or multinational in ... |

Unless you have a drug conviction you will not receive any federal aid; I'm not saying you do but if it were true you can still follow the path of college albiet at a... |
