    Welcome to the MFP forums, weebo! My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at a young age, it could have been an anchor holding him back. Instead he worked hard, graduated with honors, enlisted in the U.S. Army, is living on his own and starting to take college classes part time.

    You can succeed at your goals, too. It may take a little creativity (my son hates boiled veggies, but will eat them roasted), but you can do it!
