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.

This can mean going to occupational therapists, speech therapists, or the like. The more positive work you put towards helping the Aspergian, the less noticeable the Asperger's will be.

What are the sins of Asperger's Syndrome?
People with Asperger's Syndrome often have a dedication to the truth and justice, so lying is not one of them. They won't tolerate lying from others and can become distressed over "white lies". A few of them do learn to lie, but if an answer seems to be a lie, it is likely that they have interpreted the question in a way other than it was intended. They can also become very possessive of friends and family and be uncooperative about allowing them to spend time with others. They expect their friends will want to spend time with them, but when the person with Asperger's has only one friend while that friend has a dozen, the apportioning of time is not the same for both. So, jealousy could be a sin of Asperger's Syndrome.
