Topic same as subject heading. This is also posted in stats.

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.

sorry there should be two more options: Not diagnosed and Master's or PHD and OTHER. :oops:

These questions don't work well with teenagers, it's so annoying when I need to answer them on a poll.

Diagnosed with high functioning autism and graduated highschool. Would go to the community college if I had a ob to pay for it with. Then again, I'd be glad to just have a job at all until I figure out what I'd really like to learn or how exactly to go about it.

I thought I'd get a bigger sample size if I put in the poll on this forum......because I think more people go on this one.

I'm receiving my Bachelor's in May, and after that I'm going to start working on my Master's. Then, everyone will have to call me "Master." :lol:

Clinically diagnosed with AS and HFA, and I have some HS and college.

Not interested in anything that school teaches. I'm too narrow in what I like doing.

Yeah, it's annoying to answer "some college" when you know very well you can get a doctorate, with the proper accommodations (and are getting better and better at arranging those accommodations for yourself). Ask me in about six years, and I'll have one.

I suck at a lot of things in life, but I'm good at school, and that's how I'll make my difference in the world. I love to learn. I just hope that I'll be able to get a job where they pay me for learning. Usually, that means research--thus, doctorate.

That's the type of thing I'm feeling like, except I have the Bachelor's degree. It's just that too much happened to me at the end of college, and I couldn't get through into being accepted into grad school because of it (but once I can get someone who'll take a risk on me I'll be fine. I need the academic challenge)

I don't know if it counts as a Master's but I have an MBA degree (Master of Business Administration). It seems it has been diluted over the years to an extent...

I picked the last option, though.
