arevolutionist said:Physics is the subject of the career I wish to pursue. Though, I have asperger's which causes many social problems for me. I took 1 course in college to see if I can handle the socialization. My completion was rewarded with an A as my grade. The social aspects were extremely difficult. I am curious if I pursue my studies in solitude separate from a college, would there exist any chance of a career once I fix my social problems? :shy:
