They can handle jobs that deal with facts or logic, such as computer scientists, software designers, engineers, scientific researchers, physicists, and mathematicians. Because of their interest in fairness and justice, lawyer or police officer works for some. Because of their desire to help people, medical researcher or pathologist can work well. Telephone order taking or survey taking can work for some because they have scripts and do not require face-to-face interaction. Because of the intense focus on a few special interests, they might pursue an interest as far as a PhD and become a professor. They often feel more comfortable with animals, so might find a job that involves more animals than people.
People with Asperger's Syndrome are more likely to be bullied or taken advantage of in the workplace. Some of them assume that whatever the supervisor tells them is true, so they do not question it, which makes it very easy for a supervisor to abuse them. (However, some are very set in their own ways of doing things and question everything.) It is beneficial for them to know the basics of employment law, so that if a supervisor tells them something different, they know better. For example, in the United States, being told that he or she can only be paid for the scheduled work shift, even though the final task ran into overtime is illegal. Also, necessary preparation for doing the job must be paid, such as making photocopies before a meeting, turning on and signing on to computers, or reading the updates on how to do your job that the employer gives you. In addition, the person should know that being told that he or she must postpone lunch break to finish the task might be illegal, depending on how long the break is postponed, since the rule is that lunch break must be taken before six hours into the shift. And other good rules to know about lunch break are when it is acceptable for your supervisor to have you stay through lunch (a working lunch), that working lunches must be paid, and under what conditions a supervisor can restrict you from leaving the building for lunch (rarely). It is beneficial for the person with Asperger's Syndrome to have someone to go to for advice and answers if he or she thinks something at work does not seem right.
Temple Grandin, a person with high-functioning autism, prepared a list of suggested jobs for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, as well as pointing out a few that would not work well. For more information on that, see the links below.
I think a locomotive engineer or train engineer would be a good occupation for someone with Asperger's Syndrome because a lot of people with Asperger's seem to like trains and there is not alot of socialization just skills in operating a locomotive. Or possibly a pilot. Or even a cartographer because alot of people with Asperger's like physical geography and looking at maps.
It depends on what they are interested in.
I hate to gloat but we excel in anything we put our mind on... And even to the point of extreme obsession.
Aspergers Syndrome can be called: Aspergers, High-Functioning Autism, or you could just call it Autism, because it's a type of Autism.
Someone with aspergers syndrome can certainly become a chiropractor, provided they can meet the educational criteria (4 years of undergraduate university, 4 years of chiropractic college, pass board exams). That being said, chiropractic is a health care profession that involves alot of one-on-one interaction between a doctor and his/her patient, and communication skills are a big asset. As aspergers syndrome is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, a chiropractor with aspergers syndrome may have a difficult time interacting/communicating with his/her patients, and thus may not be very successful. Thus, although someone with aspergers COULD become a chiropractor, I would suggest that they strongly consider whether or not it is the right career choice for them.
You could talk to a psychologist and tell them the signs of Aspergers that your husband is showing. That way if your husband does have Aspergers he can get medicine for his symptoms, but not all people with Aspergers need medicine
It could be but it's unlikely, people with aspergers tend to be nice and caring
yes there are many tests for aspergers . there is one problem . getting a good score in a test does not mean you have aspergers . if you want to make sure that you have aspergers and you get a high score i suggest you sign up for a diagnosis . if you dont get a high aspie score its not likely you have aspergers and you shouldn't bother much . what a test says is not always true You could take an online test to give yourself an idea whether you could have Asperger syndrome, but to know for sure you would need to see a properly qualified professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, for a thorough assessment.
From reading that question it seems to me that before marrying your husband or wife you didn't know that they had Aspergers and now that you know that they have Aspergers you wish to divorce them. The person that you married is still the same person that you married even though that now they have been diagnosed with Aspergers. Now that they have been diagnosed things could be made generally better for your husband or wife. If you wish to divorce somebody with Aspergers then it is just the same as divorcing anybody else.
No.
You have to educate yourself about the disorder, because it's a permanent condition. It can also be possible for both people with Asperger's Syndrome to be married, but it could be more difficult.
In order to enter the police force, a person must pass both psychological and physical reviews. I would not say it could never be done, but it would not be likely. Most people with Aspergers Syndrome tend to have some issues with speech and social interaction. These would both count against a possible officer candidate.
No. Someone with Down's syndrome could also happen to have epilepsy, but if they do it isn't always to do with the fact that they have Down's Syndrome. Some people with Down's Syndrome will have or develop Epilepsy, but there is no guarantee that because someone has Down's Syndrome that they will also have Epilepsy.
Someone's illness needs time to develop to the medication they are taking for that illness. example. One could develop a tolerance syndrome centered around alcohol addiction.
