My DC has a diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome. It is not obvious she has it but she does take slightly longer to answer questions but is intelligent. She has done a lot of work experience for medicine and is predicted A*AAA in her A levels with very good GCSE. The question is should she declare her Aspergers on her application? I approached one medical school and they were very very dismissive of any support being given at interview or that it was possible to train as a doctor with Aspergers. Can MNs give me some advice? My feeling is she would make a good doctor but is not material to specilise in some thing like emergency medicine.
