Psychology.

Excuse my lack of knowledge again, but are people with diagnosed Aspergers allowed to become psychologists? It seems to fall under mental disabilitys from what I've heard, and the only reason I'm not getting an official diagnosis is because I'm worried that theres some kind of law stating that people with mental disabilitys can't work in that area. I've looked on Google but I can't find anything at all. Does anybody know anything about this?

RE: Psychology.

Phone or email someone at your local university in psychology department.  Most places people need the degree and experience and must be licenced to practice.  In my country, that would be discrimination to exclude some peopel and not allowed.  Only some people with criminal records might have some difficulty getting licenced such as convicted child abusers wanting to work as child psychologists.
