Hi Lindsey;

Good to hear from you. I, personally, am not sure I can help you. I suggest you find a forum(s) for folks with Asperger's and put the question out there. Also, Asperger's, since it is on the autism spectrum, is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act Section 504. All schools have a Section 504 officer who can work with you to develop a Section 504 Accomodation Plan to assist you through school and avoid certain difficulties. I can help you do this when and if the time comes.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Kind Regards,
James
