Hi!
I'm wanting to go to an art school for theater(Theater is my biggest passion ever. Many time, I truly believe it's what keeps me living.). I'm classified as having Aspergers, but I don't think I have it. I'm 16 and if I got accepted to the art school, I'd be going there for my 11th and 12th grade years.
What do you think?

after many years hanging around on art sites, I can tell you you'll fit right in, in the sense that 'normal' is seen as declasse`...;) Maybe that's why I like hanging around them...;)

Absolutely do it. There is nothing to loose and everything to gain so why even question the choice?

I think my life would have been very different had I pursued the arts rather than squandered my education squeaking by in things I hated.

i haven't done it and still regret it, i could have been an art teacher if i had
i am still considering to go study arts after 20 years, now i have to wait a little till my kids are a bit older

(cause for some odd reason i studied languages a few years ago, no idea why i haven't chosen art, i'm a bit uncertain when it comes to my interests i think)
