    Go for what you want to do, work for it with passion, screw the tests that many times pigeon-hole people for life.

    Are there any organisations which support Asperger's sufferers? They may be able to help.

    Here's a page I found on traits, diagnosis, and social aspects


    People with Asperger Syndrome tend to do rather well at jobs that pertain to their area or areas of interests, jobs that work in organized routines, and jobs that do not have much social interaction. Solitary work, such as computer related work, would be a good choice for a job. Along with not being with too many people, jobs should not have any kind of distraction such as intense light or noise. Sensitivity to light and sound are other traits of Asperger Syndrome. Such job qualities are very necessary for people with it.
