No Obstacle for College Students with Autism

An interesting article about students with autism and Asperger's Syndrome and going to college  It's called "Autism No Longer an Obstacle for Students Seeking a College Degree."

I went to Emerson College years before I was diagnosed with Asperger's and managed to succeed with getting my degree.  Happiest moment for me was when I finally got my college degree in 1986.  I had my struggles with socialization while going there.  It got tiresome to hear someone say to me, "You know you're supposed to be doing (or saying) ____."

Challenges that had me dealing with other people always drained me.  It was hard to read other people's faces.  Not an easy situation but I made through four years at Emerson.
