Hi my first post here. Yes there is (in Australia anyway) OK I'm self diagnosed high functioning aspergers at the moment, but my son has been diagnosed in grade 4. Yes and we both are quite brilliant in a narrow sort of way. (myself chem, son in computers) However, trying to survive university where being stuck into groups with strangers for projects, (and very poor social skills) difficult long exams (3+ hours) with no breaks. Having to find one's way around, poor presentation of topics by lecturers (might be OK for normal, but I doubt that). Its not easy.
I might add, group members tended to exploit my intelligence on projects, then mark me down on peer group assessment and take credit for my work. However, I got smart next time round and showed the lecturer my work prior to the group submission. That worked.
I am going for a formal diagnosis now to gain access to an equity program the university runs. I'd imagine most universities may follow the same code.
On the plus side, quite a few lecturers have the same so one doesn't feel too odd especially as one moves to higher levels of achievment.

At least in Australia as a citizen you don't pay up front for university. The bill for study attracts no interest, and is repaid through the tax system at a small rate. (2% at over 42K) At one time it was free but that time is long gone.
You can only get into the universities through a rigid application procedure through a central body, you cannot apply directly. Most universities run an equity program where there are allowances for all types of disabilities and will assist the enrolment process by lowering the academic requirement. Look up my university to see more. http://www.qut.edu.au and http://www.qtac.edu.au

I have a Bachelor's Degree in IT. Considering the amount of available jobs in the IT-sector, that's all I really need.
