For someone that's strength is Math, what are the good majors in college for someone that might have asperger's?
As a recent college grad, I'm going to spell out a few caveats:
1. I'd be wary of majoring in pure math. While in any major, there are plenty of grads with a lot of knowledge, but inability to apply that knowledge to the real world, those types are more well represented in math. On the other hand, with a math undergrad degree, you can get into any masters or PhD program you'd like, in any math-related subject. So maybe you should start out as a math major but consider switching. A major in statistics may be useful, especially if you want to get into the financial sector or do quantitative finance.
2. How is your physical coordination? Be careful of majors that only prepare you for jobs requiring a lot of physical coordination. There is a lot of difference between studying a subject in class, and working in a lab doing procedures that involve lots of coordination or "executive functioning."
3. How are your 3D spatial visualization skills? If they are good, that opens up majors like architectural engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering.
Also, how much math have you taken? The skills required for different fields of math may be different.
