Would AS hinder one's goal to be a veterinarian?

I am a veterinarian with Aspergers syndrome but I have a non clinical job and I work doing research into neuroscience. If you have Aspergers syndrome, it is hard to go to veterinarian school, and I discovered my diagnosis after I had graduated from vet school. This lead me into medical research and I have not regretted not doing any clinical work.
If you want to succeed in vet school, you should work to improve social skills, and you be able to extract the important information from a book you read for each course. I also think you should disclose information about being affected by aspergers as asperger traits are very easy to notice by other people.
