HS= high school

CC=community college

I am diagnosed with Asperger's and have some university.....I'm graduating at the end of the year with a .B.A.

AS diagnosis, I have a Bachelor of Science in geography.

Diagnosed Aspergirl with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering.

I work as an Environmental Engineer though...it pays the bills.

I didn't finish high school and have been diagnosed, but not until several years after high school

not officially diagnosed, but sure i have AS - it ended my medical career. i have an MD.

I am diagnosed with Asperger's. If I would have been able to stay in college I would be finishing my first of two PHDs. This year would have been a PHD in psycology with a minor in special education.

Diagnosed, Bachelors of Science in Math and Computer Science, eventual goal is to get a PhD in math .

How did you with ASD deal with student life?

Ie, did you decide it sucked and went studying all hours of the day?

school has always been hell for me. i never did well in any kind of school. i sorta envy those of the hypersuccessful aspies on WP who sailed through school as though it were like falling off a log. i wish i had their right stuff and/or their abundant fundage they had available to fund their studies.

School was always really lonely for me e.g. I had few friends, etc. so I distracted myself from the emotional isolation by literally throwing myself into studies. The more difficult the subject, the better for me. I also sleep only a few hours per night so I have much more time than most to learn new material.

That being said, I was extraordinarily fortunate to have been born into a family with substantial financial resources so material survival was not an immediate concern. My situation would have been completely different if I hadn't had access to the financial resources of my parents.

I'm not diagnosed with AS thou I'm sure I have it. I was diagnosed with dyslexia & ADHD since I was in kindergarten but I also have an extremely rare low vision disorder that was not recognized till my senior year of HS. I had NO desire at all to get any further education because I struggled in most of my classes & with most other school stuff. Things might would of went a lot better for me if I had been diagnosed with AS & my vision when I started school & would have received the rite accommodations

I have an ASD diagnosis and I have a Bachelor's degree in English/Professional Writing. I graduated with honors too.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's, and I got my G.E.D. Actually, I quit going to school regularly in the sixth grade. I didn't attend long enough to learn much of anything, so now I'm heading back to school in a month on the long journey of getting my phd.

Living life without an education is really, the worst feeling in the world. I would implore anyone to look into bettering themselves through schooling.

I hope 8 years down the road, I can change my answer to phd. Fully functioning, successful, artistic young lady, with Asperger's. And it didn't slow her down.

i lack the genes to adapt well to america's school system. so everything i know, i've had to learn on my own, as the schools were no help. the public library was for me, a far better "teacher."

I have an asperger and dyslexia diagnosis and I have a BA hons degree in Industrial Design

hiya BB and welcome to our neat little club
bath is where the korgis [80s new wave band] are from [i believe].
being able to negotiate the scholastic hazards with dyslexia must mean you have a genius IQ/steel trap memory, no having to write stuff down for you.
