Asperger's Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

I am in University. It is my first year and of course i had no idea what i want to do. Recently my little brother was diagnosed with Autism (Asperger's). I sort of had a feeling that he was autistic but didnt let it bother me. Now that I know for sure that its true i'm very interested in the autism subject. I have desided to take that up and some how work with kids like my brother. The only problem is that i don't know the first step to take. What do I study? What do I Major in? What is the path to take in becoming someone who works with Children with Asperger's Syndrome? If you or any one else knows what I need to do to fulfill my dream then please reply to this post and help me. Thank you

I would guess you'd want to major in psychology. Welcome, by the way.

If you want to get the best knowledge and inside juice on AS and Autism, WP is THE BEST PLACE TO GO, no doubt about it. I reckon all people who want to work and/or diagnose AS should start here!

If I may ask, how old is your little brother? I'd like to know more about him. Y'know, what are his obsessions? His routines? What's his hair colour and the type of underwear he uses? (okay, cut out the last two!)

EDIT: I wondered his age, but that was answered in the other topic you made with the same title. (lack of creativity, eh? For shame!)
