Anyone know of any grants that are being given out to people with AS? Just curious as I am looking towards going to college in fall 2005. Thanks.

I've never heard of anything like this before but I'm curious if such opportunities exist.

in the uk job centres, people with AS are considered disabled and apparently get extras and stuff....my aunt works in the jobcentre and told me all about it, except i cant remember much. sorry.
i think you should just ask around, every place acts differently.

My daughter has Aspergers and we went though the State (TN) Disability OFfice (Rehab) and got 100% of her college paid for. She is now in her 3rd year of Accounting and it is working perfectly so far! Good Luck!
