What are you majoring in and why? Did your asperger's effect your choice?

History + Accounting minor ---- > Law

I loved science and was decent at calculus. However, due to dyspraxia and executive dysfunction, I couldn't do anything in a lab without f*****g it up, so that ruled out most STEM careers.

So, I'd say it did affect my choice.

I'm going into occupational therapy, and I seriously doubt if my Asperger's had anything to do with my decision.

I have a BA in History and am struggling through my MA. History is my obsession but I see it as a tragic never ending pattern.

Information Technology (probably specializing in programming with some networking). I think Asperger's is part of why I like and understand computers so much, so in a sense I guess you could say it's affected my decision.
