Go to the school counselor with the attitude that you will succeed despite this--rather than providing them with the notion that you are "handicapped"--that you are seeking the "easy way out."
Asperger's does not ring death knells of failure.
Many people do succeed despite (or perhaps because of) the "disorder."

Found a thread from 5 years ago of someone, at the time, 15 years old from NZ and the links and advice may be helpful. The person who posted it seems to have quit shortly after, though.

give this link a go http://www.autismnz.org.nz/ and you should be able to find your area... The lady from my area was more than helpful! Very kind over the phone, willing to give out and send any information aswell as numbers you will need.. They even ask you to call back and have a chat anytime you want... Great crew But see GP first as he will give the referral that should be subsidized As a ""Mature Male"" i have been going through the system here a bit.. But for you the process should be faster

Sounds like you've had an Eureka moment!
