If these don't exist, they should.
We put up with a hell of a lot, and I think we deserve some s**t for that!
People get scholarships for sports, which mean very little as a whole.
Why can't the ones who really have it tough get rewarded?

I got some scholarships. Not specifically for being Aspie, though. There are a couple Aspie scholarships, but probably not enough to be worth going after.

I've been on a scholarship hunt for a while. What I figured out is this: don't look for Asperger's Syndrome; that's way too narrow. Autism is okay, but you're still not going to find anything really. Your best bet is to look for scholarships for neurodevelopmental disorders.
