I was diagnosed with AS at a young age but I NEVER got away with being rude or inappropriate on account of it.

The professors and RAs are doing it wrong.

Being an Aspie does not the right to be an asshole give.

This. I went to a college for the learning disabled and while the staff was understanding, it was never an excuse. It's kind of hard to pull then "But I have [x]" when half the campus also has [x].

Also, when you live within that type of community, you find that people can still be simple assholes. I knew several people that even if they didn't have AS, they would still be assholes. It had nothing to do with what they were diagnosed with.

Completely, completely off topic, but I have a close family member who has been considering an LD college, and I've never met anyone who has attended one before (assuming seeing a random anon comment counts as "meeting"). If you don't feel comfortable answering this, please just ignore me completely, I know I'm being incredibly intrusive, but I hate to not at least ask...

Would you recommend such an institution to anyone with a learning disability, even if they think they can get along fine with minimal accommodations in a non-LD-focused school, or would you say it's more for those with more "severe" problems? I'm not really sure how to phrase it... I have been pushing him to go check it out, but he thinks he would feel out of place, and that it would make him more dependent on accommodations (when he is used to getting by without in most cases). He also might be a little self-conscious about the whole thing...

Also, would you say it was a good experience overall? Do you think your experience there was much more beneficial than the experience you had in high school?

Sorry again for the intrusion, it would just be so cool to get an opinion from someone who had this type of educational experience but *isn't* being paid by the school to say how awesome it is. And again, feel free to tell me to fuck off if you want:)
